Description

You've seen a chunk of the LMC, now here is a chunk of the SMC! What I would do to see these two objects why my own eyes at a dark site. Alas, that is an impossibility when you live in the northern hemisphere. Instead, this is the best I can do.

Unlike with the LMC, this time around there is a narrowband component. It can be tough balancing the broadband and narrowband versions of the SMC; too much narrowband and there is hardly any galaxy to see, and too much broadband and the nebula get overwhelmed by the stars. I think I did an okay job.

BlurX did some real heavy lifting on this one. It is shocking what it is capable of. Without it they data would be unusable.
