Scientific paper

A search of eleven deep CTIO 4-m telescope plates has resulted in a list of 96 galaxies brighter than V = 16.5 that are seen through the LMC and that are good candidates for probing the total optical extinction within the LMC. The search also registered a total of 1501 fainter galaxies. The number detected is strongly correlated with the position, decreasing greatly toward the center of the LMC. Because of crowding and uncertain completeness corrections, these figures allow only a rough estimate of the total extinction in the LMC as a function of distance from the center.
