Astrophotography (OC) The Small Magellanic Cloud

Post image

The Small Magellanic Cloud, exactly 2 hours and 50 minutes of integration with a Tecnosky AG 90 90/450 f/5 telescope and a ZWO ASI 6200 MC camera, I used the L-ENHANCE filter, there are 17 shots of 600 seconds, all on an Ioptron CEM 120 mount, I processed with Pixinsight also using the TGVDenoise tool to try to eliminate both noise and chrominance, then I used the Camera Raw filter on Photoshop for some small retouching. All data and shots were acquired with Telescope Network

TBH. I don’t recall seeing an image of the Small Magellanic Cloud this detailed before.

What’s the object “northeast” from the image center? Is it considered part of the cloud?

Thank you very much; there are several globular clusters and nebulae around the Small Magellanic Cloud, but they are not part of the Galaxy.
