A visual inspection of a deep photograph of the region centred on 30 Doradus obtained in the light of the gaseous emission of ionized hydrogen (e. g. the Ha pictures by Elliott et al. 1977, Astron. Astrophys. 55, 187 and the multicolour photograph published in the Messenger No. 48) clearly suggests that the supernova occurred within the boundaries of that supergiant H11 region. This is hardly surprising: the 30 Dor complex is the largest concentration of young, massive stars in the Local Group of galaxies and as massive stars are the progenitors of type II supernovae there was a high chance to observe the first close-by supernova in modern times in that region.
