N44 in the Large Magellanic Cloud is a spectacular example of a giant HII region. Having observed it in 1999 (see ESO PR Photos 26ad/ 99), a team composed of Fernando Comerón and Nausicaa Delmotte from ESO, and Annie Laval from the Observatoire de Marseille (France), again used the Wide-Field-Imager (WFI) at the MPG/ESO 2.2-m telescope of the La Silla Observatory, pointing this 67-million pixel digital camera to the same sky region in order to provide another striking - and scientifically extremely rich - image of this complex of nebulae. With a size of roughly 1,000 light-years, the peculiar shape of N44 clearly outlines a ring that includes a bright stellar association of about 40 very luminous and bluish stars.
