With not much to do wide field at this time of the year I thought I would do some targets I can capture reasonably quickly (yeah I even mega-ed this up a little).
Being a bright object, 47 Tucanae does not really require long subs (though I did use 15 minute subs for the luminance), it can with some surrounding object present an interesting image.
I counted 5 globulars in the field but there could be one more. There are two I think are part of the SMC which are small and faint on the left hand side. The two brighter ones I think are attached to our galaxy but I could be wrong.
There is a small faint galaxy too on the upper right hand side of 47 Tucanae.
I am quite fond of the blue stars on the far left side of the image. These I think are stars in the SMC itself.
All in all the field provides its own curiosities.
Its probably a little under saturated for the tastes of some and I accept that too. Feel free to tell me if you feel it is under saturated. I am curious as to peoples perceptions.
