NGC 1910 is an open cluster in the Large Magellanic Cloud, immersed in ionized gas. Several other open clusters, globulars and gas-clouds are visible against the backdrop of stars of the LMC.
It was imaged over several nights in turn with NGC 253.
As the STL11000 has no O3-filter, Pedro Borja was so kind to provide a series of O3-frames taken with the Riccardi-Honders.
