NGC 371 and Friends in HOO

After seeing some cool images online of the various different nebulae in the Small Magellanic Cloud, I decided to try and have a crack at shooting some of them myself. This was shot over 3 nights, all of which were plagued with clouds, hence the low integration time. I used my ZWO ASI533MC Pro for the first night, and for the other two nights, I used my ZWO ASI183MC Pro. I also used my Optolong L-Ultimate on each night with my Askar 65PHQ.

Even after just under 4hrs of integration time, I still think that this is nowhere near enough to pull out some of the fainter nebulosity. I reckon if it wasn't for the clouds on those nights, I could have gotten at least 6-7 hours integration time. I may even end up shooting this region again whenever the next clear night is forecast, as it has been nothing but clouds, wind and rain for the past few weeks even though there is an El Nino in effect.

Although this image is still somewhat lackluster in terms of details and noise, I am happy with the results, although like I said, I would like to add more integration time to this project again soon.

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.
