Description

This is an image of a section of the Small Magellanic Cloud (hence why there are so many stars visible), in SHO with RGB stars
The image contains many numbered and unnamed nebulae, including NGC 248, NGC 249, NGC 241, NGC 242, NGC 261, NGC 265, NGC 256, NGC 267
These nebula are not in the Milky Way, they are in our sister galaxy, the SMC.

While this is quite a tight view (Focal length 2032mm) it would probably make a good Mosaic with another 1-2 images covering the nebula next to this as well.
