Description

NGC346
Another one from the SMC.
The data is from a couple of weeks ago and I picked the best frames I had.
NGC346 is pretty bright but still not a very easy target as it does not come up very high even at my southern location and you need pretty good seeing then.
The image is a plain HOO, RGB stars would have probably helped for the clusters but I wasn´t able to get the data before the moon was up.
The cluster LHA 115-S 26 on the lower right side is also quite interresting as it has a kind of filamentary structure around it.
Hope you enjoy it.
Wolfgang
