Our ground-based images of LMC N160A (NGC 2080)
obtained with ESO telescopes

A CCD image of N160A+D through a narrow-band filter collecting the high excitation
emission line [O III] 5007 A obtained at the European Southern Observatory (ESO)
with the Danish 1.54m telescope.
The bubble structure of N160D is due to the presence of a Wolf-Rayet star
with strong stellar wind (type WN3-4) lying towards its center.
Field size about 140 x 160 arcsecond on the sky. North is up and east is left.

The same image with a higher intensity contrast,
showing the two high excitation blobs A1 and A2.



The central part of N160A as shown by an image taken with the 3.60 m telescope at ESO
using a continuum filter near H-alpha.
Field size about 60" x 20".

obtained at the ESO/Danish 1.54m telescope.
Field size about 140" x 240". North is up and east is left.
