Inside the Small Magellanic Cloud

Finally after long time spent collecting light I am able to post an image a medium resolution of the Small Magellanic Cloud, or better of its core.
It is incredible the abundance of Ha OIII in this galaxy, impressive to imagine that these are not nebulae of our milky way

SMC

It is a HaOIII LRGB composition collecting 24 hours of light, half of it in narrow band. I recommend to view the full resolution version.
It is a process a bit extreme, sharper than my usual one and it is possible I will go for a softer version eventually, however I wanted to see how much I could push the contrasts in this target. Suggestions and opinions are welcome
