Small Magellenic Cloud (SMC) HaLRGB
HaRGB image, 2hrs 13 min integration. I wanted to balance the myriad stars with the LRGB and Ha colours. The highlights needed to be tamed a little, and the linear artifact was a pain found in all masters, I'm curious how that got into them. But it's good to know that even the best observatories have the kinds of issues our backyard setups occasionally face. Being up north, I have not seen this object in the sky, I'm amazed by this satellite galaxy and the detail in this image.
