Description

They are located at the edge of the Large Magellanic Cloud in the Dorado constellation.

This image is about 30hrs SHO + 1.5hrs RGB stars.
A standard SHO combination was used then white calibrated and stretched with GHS. The blue nebula was very bright so HDRMT helped to compress the dynamic range.

The two objects in the image below are a supernova remnant (SNR J045447-662528 ) and a red galaxy (z~0.024 so quite close actually). 
No further insights are available online on these objects.
