Carina and LMC

Hi,

The Carina Nebula and Constellation appear to be much larger and more
striking than the Large Magellanic Cloud. Is there any comparisons on the
Web with photos?

You're right. Carina is sprinkled with many bright stars, open
clusters, and a hotspot at eta Carinae. The LMC is like a detached
hink of the Milky Way.

Well the Carina Nebula is a heck of a lot closer than the LMC, so of course
is generally brighter. To counter that, the Tarantula nebula in the LMC is
one of the most awesome views in the sky IMO.
