The Small Magellanic Cloud
The Small Magellanic Cloud is a dwarf galaxy that is only visible from the southern hemisphere. It is a very wild part of the sky with burst of nebulosity everywhere some of them looking like opals . This cloud of dust was used by European for navigation in the middle ages and it is the most distant object visible the naked eye. One of my favourite target for wield field photography. This is my first attempt at this target in my short 1 year of astrophotography. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
