The Flying Lizard Cluster NGC 602, N90, NGC 460 and NGC465

This is part of the Panorama I did of the SMC but I felt it really did not do the group any justice at all and it looked so much more intersting as a subject closer up.

Small Magellenic Cloud plus the Extra nebulas Further away.

So I decided to concentrate on the group as a single shot. The Flying lizard NGC602 is the cluster of stars in the blue area of Oxygen on the left in N90 Nebula. NGC465 is the group to the very right side of the shot, NGC 460 is the middle blue nebula,this area is on the outer wing of the Small magnellenic cloud closer together. This was shot over 5 nights two of them not full night due to clouds.
