Hello all,
I was originally going to post this image as a question. The small feature in the lower left hand corner had me really intrigued as to what it was. At first I thought it was a stacking artifact, but, no, all the subs contain it. Then I thought it may have been a reflection of the bright core of 47 Tuc in my image train, until I finally found an online image faintly featuring it as well. Once I knew it was a real deep sky object I really wanted to find out what it was called, but I couldn't find a reference to it anywhere. I was just about to postt it here and ask, when I came across this site
http://www.cloudsofmagellan.net.au/index.htm and there it was in one of the maps of the SMC. NGC 121.
Any way. To cut a long story short. I had the compressed file ready to go so I thought I may as well post it and see what you all think. Critique very welcome.
Cheers
Greg
