The Small Magellanic Cloud (NGC 292) is a companion satellite galaxy of our Milkyway visible from the southern hemisphere, located approximately 203,700 LY away.
Taken through a 8" SCT at f1.9 with a Hyperstar reducer using a QHY268M camera, in RGB natural colour, with added H-Alpha & OIII narrowband signal to emphasize the fainter, more subtle, nebulosity.
The total integration time for this photo was only 9 hours and 55 minutes.
