Three-color optical LMC and SMC images, made from mosaics of MCELS data.
Red is H-alpha, green is [S II] 6725, and blue is [O III] 5007, all displayed with logarithmic scaling.
While stars have been suppressed by the narrow filters used, they have not been subtracted. Coordinates or stellar fiducials are shown on images below.

Small Magellanic Cloud with fiducials

Three-color LMC and SMC images with color fiducial marks at the position of each FUSE target.
Fiducials are green +'s = B stars, yellow X's = O stars, and red diamonds = WR+misc stars.
