30 Doradus/WFI data release

This data release includes broad band and narrow band imaging of a one-square degree region around the 30 Doradus complex in the Large Magellanic Cloud. These data products are based on observations carried out by Joao Alves, Benoit Vandame and Yuri Bialetski with the Wide Field Imager (WFI) at the 2.2m telescope on La Silla (Programme ID 076.C-0888).

These data consist of a 2x2 WFI mosaic in the bands B, V, and narrow band Hα and [OIII]. A spectacular colour composite image resulting from these observations is also included in this release. Note that observations were carried out in good seeing but non-photometric conditions; scientific applications will therefore require cross-photometric calibration.
