Great info Paddy and thanks for the write ups. I was unaware of the Kron clusters in my grand tour of the SMC from a couple years back (I am cursed to the northern skies that forbid my observations of SMC/LMC that are true gems of the skies by any standard).

In my 12" observations of SMC I ran across an interesting pattern of 5 or so clusters midway between your groups. These 5 appear half way between Ngc267 and Ngc330 and appear as about 5 clusters in a 12min sort of field of view. I wonder if you have any names for those?

In any case thanks for the well done tours. South-East of the 'comma' lie about 6 scattered NGC objects and 3 IC objects between Ngc371 on down to Ngc465 WAY down south east at the end with only the NGC460 area way down there involved in a clump of several objects and the others are very isolated along the way.

Thanks Paddy!
Marko
