SMC including Globular cluster 47 Tucanae (ngc104)
Widefield image of the Small Magellanic Cloud (dwarf galaxy) mainly located in the constellation of Tucana. This is an HOO version using 54 Ha and 55 OIII subs, with stars created using 53 SII subs in addition. I personally preferred the HOO over the SHO one I'd cobbled together, so here it is.
