A small Magellanic cloud, or NGC 292, observed with 10x50 binoculars. With binoculars, a small cloud of Magellan appears as a slightly kidney-bean-shaped mist from which two brightnesses can be distinguished at its northern end. However, the southern part of the galaxy appears to be the brightest part of the galaxy. At the eastern end of the galaxy, a brightness is observed that appears to be separate from the rest of the galaxy. A spherical set of 47 Tucanae appears on the west side of the fog, at the top of the image field.
