A relatively wide field photograph of 47 Tucanae (NGC 104) showing some other surrounding clusters also.
I quite like this photograph, probably one of the better ones I've taken of NGC 104. I considered altering the colour but the dusty brown colour is somewhat remenisant of the night it was photographed on, when the atmosphere was somewhat dusty and this coloured (shown by wider field photographs I took on the night).
