Description

I shot this one back in July 2021. My first idea was to build a 2-panel mosaic. Unfortunately, the clouds came in and ruined my plans. That's the reason for this weird composition, although I kinda like the way the SMC shares the space with NGC 362. It's far from the magnificence of 47 Tuc, but at the same time, this globular cluster is an object oftentimes neglected. This brings a different view for this so loved object, that we from the southern hemisphere have the privilege to gaze.

Of course, as an unfinished project, it lacks a lot of important features from the SMC, but I don't know when I'll be able to capture more light.

Honestly, I totally forgot this data for almost over 5 months! Recently I bumped into the lights in a random folder, and... well, this is the result.

I'll try to finish this panorama over 2022!
