Default NGC 1910 in the LMC

Another of the many small emission nebulae in the LMC, (at least small from this distance of 160,000 odd light years). I haven't been able to find any explanation for the spiral shape but it would seem odd to be coincidental. Noise was a problem as the camera temp this night was between 29 and 24 celsius.

Kind regards
Matt

Hi Matt.
Nice job on this Nebula. Last night I ordered a Vixen VMC200L/GPD2 mount with Star book. Cant wait lots to learn. Clear skies to you Paul.

Thanks Paul and Dietmar. I am the one with a long way to go. Congratulations on the new scope Paul. Many happy hours and as I understand it is a very good mount.

Kind regards
Matt
