Scientific paper

The Magellanic Cloud Emission Line Survey (MCELS) is a survey of two of our nearest neighboring galaxies, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC, respectively). Data has been obtained in the emission-lines of [O III] 5007A, H-alpha 6563A, and [S II] 6724A, as well as green and red continuum filters. These data will allow us to investigate the physical properties of the interstellar medium (ISM) in these galaxies. To this end, there are 1250 images (250/filter) in a 9degx9deg field toward the LMC. These data have overscan-corrected, trimmed, zero-subtracted, and flat-fielded. This project involves determining astrometric solutions for all fields, sky-subtraction, flux-calibration, continuum subtraction, and mosaicking the data into 1 image per filter.
