The big brother of the Small Magellanic Cloud. A good target for this setup as I can fit almost all of it in within one shot.
I'd like to do a lens type long exposure of this one some day to catch the spherical shape of the whole galaxy.
FSQ106ED and .73X reducer, FLI Proline 16803, Tak NJP mount.
HaLRGB 75 70 30 30 30.
Good seeing and skies completely clear. Taken over 2 nights.
A hard one to process really, and I did at least 20 versions probably 25, before I was happy with this one. It is quite a bright object.
