Stuff in the SMC is often over looked for that in its larger brother, so nice to have a squizz at it at times.

Lots of stars in there

Thanks Mike.

I initially thought the colour balance was all wrong for an emission nebula. I was expecting to see red but I suppose the green in the nebula gives it a distinct OIII flavour.

Thanks Marc.

One of the things that perplexes me about this hobby is how stars colours can either be pronounced or missing even though the RGB exposures and processing routines are the same.

This is one of those examples where there was no need to boost the saturation of the image.
