Outskirts of the SMC - to the east

Now it was the time to go to the east side of the SMC, where a number of clusters and gaseous structures are located. Using Simbad database, apart from the objects identifies by plate solving, you have Lindsay 7, 17 and 27, also HW 8, 11 and 14, and many ESO open clusters.

In this side of the SMC it seems to be a more precise border, at least a visual one.
There is a lot of information about both, the SMC and the LMC, so I am not going to try to add anything, except to share that, when I was a child, and the night sky was not so polluted, these galaxies make a quite profound impression at the naked eye observation.
I used to look at the moon, Jupiter and Saturn, with a very rudimentary scope, a Galileo type but pointing to these clouds gave no real image, just more milky shapes. So now I am enjoying the view, and happy to be able to do that.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
