SMC (NGC 292) - First Light, moving into the body.

Small Magellan Cloud or the countless region full of stars and DSO's, now into the body rather than the skirts as I did before.
First light of my new scope, the ASKAR FRA 600, and a OSC, so I choose an object to cover almost fully within the field, from those which are ideal at this time of the year, the SMC was a bit an obvious choice.

This scope is quite and astrograph, it is an f/3.9 using the Askar 0.7 reducer. From the full resolution image I believe that the field is reasonable flat all over the image. Looking at the small globular clusters closer to the borders you can see that. Particularly NGC 361 and the two Kron 38 and 44, at the lower right hand side, not identified by the plate solving but you can see them, at first, as two faint milky spots.

This scope will complement what can be achieved with the Vixen ED80Sf, but also with a better quality of the image (The Vixen is a doublet).
I am quite happy even that I have to manage a few things, like all the Pegasus stuff...which I did not use before and actually crashed my PC twice.

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.
