Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) in LRGB-HII
The Magellanic Clouds are two irregular dwarf galaxies located in close proximity to the Milky Way. Due to their proximity, various properties can be observed with particularly high precision. However, there are numerous uncertainties about many observations relating to the Magellanic Clouds.
The term Magellanic system summarizes several structures that can be distinguished. In addition to the two Magellanic Clouds, there are extensive areas such as the Magellanic Stream (NASA) that were influenced by the interaction of the clouds with each other and with the Milky Way.
What does "Deep sky photography" mean
There are celestial objects outside our solar system that can be easily observed with modern optical systems. In amateur astronomy, the term deep sky refers to observable celestial objects that are located outside the solar system. These include, among other things, star clusters, nebulae and galaxies.
What exactly is "remote-controlled astronomy"
A remote-controlled telescope is operated by an observer via the Internet and is located in an observatory with an automatic system. This offers the unique opportunity to record deep sky objects that are difficult to observe from your own location.
