Description: Wow. Don't fit into a 4.5° field. The main dody of
the galaxy is about 3° long. Two brightenings were visible
within it: the SW one is NGC 1918. The Tarantula nebula is very
bright and seems to have a stellar nucleus. N 51 on the N edge
is a clump of nebulosity and clusters and is irregularly
triangular; brighter along the edges.
