Here's a quick one I did same night I shot M17 before packing up. NGC104 - 10x1mn + 10x30s stacked in CCD stack. No calibration. Celestron 5"/QHY8 gain1 offset 110 at prime focus - autoguided PHD/ED80 on G11. Would probably need more time and exposures to bring up the two little DSO on each side of the globular cluster. Only noticed when processing. At first I thought it was some donuts on my mirror as I didn't do any flats. Not sure what they are. Thanks for looking.

Not Bad Marc

..

I believe the two fuzz balls are SMC globular clusters?

Thanks for the comments. I'll have another go this week-end and try not to burn the core this time.

That's a fine image, Marc. nicely done.

Lovely image especially with the two clusters. Yes they are globular clusters of the SMC. NGC 121 is the oldest of the SMC globs at around 10 -11 Gyr and the smaller is ISO 28-19 one of SMC's younger Globs at around 4 Gyr.
