Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC)

This is 30 hours of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Consisting of NGC 265, 269, 290, 294, 292, 346, and others. I used Foraxx palette as it was the best to bring out the detail. This FOV captures the essence of the cloud. The stars are numerous so I kept my FOV on this part. I used a 60mm aperture on the Askar v with Field Flattener at 360 FL at F6. I used 10 min sub exposures as its not a very bright region. I was happy with the AM3 as I got round stars with all sub exposures. I processed this in Pixinsight and minor tweaking in Photoshop. I used Antlia 3nm Ha, Oii, Sii filters.
