Hi all!
Here is my attempt for the March One-click contest.
47 Tucanae, or 47 Tuc (also designated NGC 104) is the second brightest globular cluster in the sky (after Omega Centauri). It is located about 15000 light-years away in the constellation Tucan and is about 120 light years in diameter.
Caldwell 106 is noted for having a small very bright and dense core and is one of the most massive globular clusters in the Galaxy, containing millions of stars. The cluster appears roughly the size of the full moon and though it appears adjacent to the SMC, it over fifteen times closer than it.
