4 Globular clusters in one frame

47 Tucanae is the second brightest globular cluster following Omega Centauri.
The large globular 47 Tucanae (NGC 104, Caldwell 106) seen in this 1.5 X 1.5 Degrees frame outshines the 3 smaller clusters neighburing it.
All 4 clusters are companions of the Small Magellanic cloud.
NGC 121 is the small cluster at 2 O'clock of the cluster.
At 9 O'clock is the small cluster SMC L8 and above it the smaller cluster SMC L11.

There are several small galaxies hidden among the stars - the largest one PGC 1536 can be seen half way Between 47 TUC and NGC 121 (please see at the original resolution below...)
