Closer-ups of the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds, satellite galaxies of our own Milky Way. Next to the Small Magellanic Cloud is the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, a ball of 10,000 stars about 13,000 light-years away from us.

Edited NOIRLab image of the Large Magellanic Cloud.
Original caption: Part of the SMASH dataset showing an unprecedented wide-angle view of the Large Magellanic Cloud. The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are the largest satellite galaxies of the Milky Way and, unlike the rest of the satellite galaxies, are still actively forming stars — and at a rapid pace. The depth of these survey data can be appreciated by the number of stars visible in the outer regions of the galaxy, as seen in the lower part of the image.
Equipment: Tamron SP 15- 30mm F2.8 (at 15mm f/4.0), EOS 6D SEO-SP4 (UIBAR), Vixen AP
Exposure: 180sec x8 composite at ISO3200

Night sky at Paranal over the auxiliary telescopes. The Magellanic clouds wan be seen on the left hand side of the picture.

8th May 2014. Milky Way as seen from south of Hobart, Tasmania on a night with a near full moon. There was an aurora earlier in the night but by the time I arrived here I could see not even the faintest wisp of colour on the horizon. However the sky was clear and there was no wind which made it a perfect opportunity for getting some star shots.
A trip out to Mudgee, for an evening shooting the stars with the Canon Collective
The Milky Way & the Large Magellanic Cloud
The Large and Small Magellanic clouds (LMC & SMC) form South Africa.
Taking on an ordinary camera tripod, 30 seconds exposure at f/2.8. ISO 1600. Not much light pollution that night :)
The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, two of the largest satellite dwarf galaxies of the Milky Way, and until 2003, thought to be our two nearest galactic neighbors. They are only visible within the tropics and the southern hemisphere. Within the tropics they are only visible part of the year and south of the tropics they are always visible at night. The bright star to the upper left of the Small Magellanic Cloud is not a single star but the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, a ball of stars that is almost too big to be a star cluster and yet too small to be a galaxy. The southern hemisphere has some of the best targets for astrophotographers. (JPOD 191) #photoaday #pictureaday #magellanicclouds #largemagellaniccloud #smallmagellaniccloud #47tucanae #southernsky
