Half SMC, With possible Astriod

Hi guys to cut a long story short, here is half the SMC, yea I know, half you may well ask, but trust me this is the result of not listening and being to cocky, but we wont go there either.

Anyway after doing 15 exposures at 7 minutes each, with ICNR on, I stood next to my scope for 3.5 hours and figured it was on the target, but it was not, so now we have a half SMC, and friends.

The exposures were 15 @ 7 Mins. @ 400 ISO, through the Tak and Modded 5D, auto guided, and processed in Image Plus and PS2.

This is a un-cropped widefield.

Please feel free to comment, either way

PS, it was pointed out from Lester, that there might be an Astriod captured in my half SMC Image, what do others think, it is in the bottom left hand corner of the main image, the small imag is a very heavy crop of the area.
