I shot this field as my short first light test image with the FSQ106 and PL16803 setup two years ago and although I was very happy with the performance of the brand new rig, I didn't take enough care with the framing and it needed more exposure plus some Ha and OIII to add some colour and more features.
So, two clear nights during the week allowed me to revisit this little galaxy with the blazing 47 Tuc in tow (and the often overlooked smaller but beautiful GC NGC 362) and gather 13hrs total exposure through 6 filters with a better framing... by fiddling with camera rotation, I have managed to squeeze in about 95% of the SMC plus 47 Tuc and NGC362 and I am much happier with this result
