I wish I could join you, Faith, but I'll probably wait another year to return (visited last November). If you spent any time with the LMC in your earlier visit to Australia, you know how easy it is to get overwhelmed trying to identify objects in the LMC as there are often multiple clusters/nebulae in field after field. So best to prepare as much as possible in advance!

Have you seen Mati Morel's "LMC Visual Atlas 2000"? It includes 31 charts using the GSC (down to mag 15), creating very detailed maps in an 11" x 8.5" spiral-bound notebook. I've found it pretty helpful in my trips, though I don't know if it's still available.
