Description

This was one the first images I wanted to take with my new GT71 telescope. Unfortunately, I couldn't gather more than 32 minutes of data, as heavy smoke from nearby fires covered the area, and for more than a month I could not image the SMC. 

Still, being relatively bright targets, 32 minutes could show a lot of detail, and I think the colors really show in this image. Hope you like it!
