I never know when you are joking, Alex, but for the people that don't know,
the Southern Cross is laying on its side at the moment; the two lower stars of the cross point directly at the LMC about 4-5 times the distance between the two stars, to the right[SSW] of the cross, in the middle of an apparently
starless area of sky, just like a puff ball. If you then turn right about 80degrees you will come to the SMC.
Here's an early effort of mine to start the ball rolling. 50mm 6x30secs
@f3.2 ISO800.
