The Midcourse Space (MSX) Experiment (Price 1995) detected large numbers of point sources in the LMC at 8.28 μm (Egan et al. 2001). Near-infrared J H K L imaging and monitoring of the 504 MSX sources in a region of size 3° x 3.5° covering most of the LMC bar has been carried out. Spectra have been taken for most of the post-AGB stars and a selection of the AGB stars and red supergiants.
