"Dorado"
Main Attractions :
The constellation itself is unspectacular, but it does house the spectacular
Large Magellanic Cloud. The LMC is actually a satellite galaxy of the Milky
Way and shines at first magnitude. It is close enough so that nebulas and star
clusters within can be seen, the most fascinating being the Tarantula Nebula.
We feel that the LMC is the greatest view that people in the Northern
Hemisphere miss out on. (If you disagree, e-mail = astro@astro.newaygo.mi.us).
