Extract

The Sydney University one mile cross-type radio telescope at the Molonglo Radio Observatory has been used to study the 30 Doradus nebula with high resolution (~3´ arc) at 408 MHz. This preliminary report compares these observations with Balmer line isophotes published by Faulkner. A description of the calibration procedures used in the present observations, an analysis of the various radio features in the 30 Doradus region, and a comparison with previous observations at other frequencies, will be described in a later paper.
