SMC Three Panel Mosaic

This is just the centre three panels of a nine panel RGB mosaic of the SMC I am attempting in spite of the terrible weather.

As usual colour gradients are another problem that makes it all very difficult.

All the data was collected with the SMC at the zenith so at my light polluted site I cannot do better than this.

How many globs can you see associated with the LMC?

Bert, did you mean SMC?
According to Bica E., Dutra C.M. <Astron. J. 119, 1214 (2000)> there are at least 469 star clusters in the SMC + Bridge. They don't specifically identify GCs. Was that the sort of answer you expected?

Nice mosaic Bert. 13 official GCs for the LMC according to what I've been able to dig up and one with the SMC - NGC 121
