Deep in the SMC....NGC346 Edit plus NGC55

Tonights result was NGC 346, an open cluster and nebula
deep inside the SMC.
Seeing was quite good tonight and also I am quite far south so
drive PE errors are minimal. Homemade wormgear with PEC on.

Also attached, a link to an APOD view of this object from Hubble.

Edit: Added a result of NGC 55 as well from the same night.
Cloud cut this set short....Also closer to the equator...drive errors
are amplified.
