Description

6h 10min of integral Ha exposure for 3-tile 2 deg long panorama aligned along the "center line" of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Captured remotely using Telescope #3 (ASA-N D = 0.5m f/3.8, FLI ProLine 16803) system of ChileScope observatory carried out over 5 imaging sessions on Oct 31, 2022, Dec 29 & 30, 2023, Jan 1 & 5, 2024. The vertical size of the frame corresponds to about 7.1kly at the distance to the SMC of 61kpc - hence the title.
