A 13 cm radio continuum image of the 30 Doradus region has been made with 7.5 sec resolution using the Australia Telescope. It has been compared with a calibrated optical charge coupled device (CCD) image obtained at Cerro Tololo. The two images are virtually identical, indicating little variation in extinction across the nebula. The mean value of the extinction at H alpha is 1.1 mag. The detailed radio image confirms that N157B is a Crab-like (nonshell) Supernova Remnant (SNR) with an extent of about 90 sec x 70 sec.
