NGC 346,371,330,395 and friends in the SMC new

#2624999 - 09/05/08 06:56 AM Attachment (13 downloads)

And there are more clusters and nebulae in this shot of the NE portion of the Small Magellanic Cloud from a dark site about 550 km south of Sydney at the Border Stargaze last weekend

google is unable to find any amateur images of NGC 346 the biggest and brightest of these objects so I guess these are not often targets for amateurs-especially for as small a scope as mine!

comments welcome, thanks for looking
