NGC346 in the Small Magellanic Cloud repro'd

Whilst perhaps not that photogenic this object is not imaged very often.

There is more Ha nebula in that region than is generally shown in Small Magellanic Cloud images.

CDK17, Proline 16803, Paramount ME.

The Ha image turned out the best. As you can see there is a lot more Ha nebula in that area
of the Small Magellanic Cloud than normally shown in images. NGC346 is the largest neb in that
area lower in the image.

Here is a more muted colour version that retains the delicate O111 bluish tinge in the centre
than the other colour version which is heavy in Ha:
