NGC 248 is part of a large emission nebula complex in the southern region of the Small Magellanic Cloud.
Although the SMC is usually considered poor in deep sky objects when compared to the LMC, there are still numerous objects within the cloud. Those with NGC designations at indicated in the image below and listed in the following table. As can be seen, these represent only a small portion of those imaged.
