Summer's well on its way so we've had a few really gorgeous nights during the past week! While observing dwarf novae in the Large Magellanic Cloud last night, Petri & Fred snagged a set of images through 3 of the Sloan filters (u, g & r). Combining these has produced one of SALT's most beautiful colour-composite images to date. The combination of 1" seeing & a freshly stacked primary shows what the telescope's capable of under good conditions. If only Darragh could see this kind of image quality!

Great job. Can photometry been done with this? Down to what magnitude?
