A couple of Magellanic clouds I photgraphed in 2012 with an unguided camera.
The bright blob on the far left is Canopus in Carina, the second brightest star after Sirius in Canis Major.
The bright "star" to the right of the small Magellanic cloud is NGC 104 aka 47 Tucanae, the second brightest globular cluster.
The bright star near the top of the picture directly above the small Magellanic cloud is the binary star Achernar or Alpha Eridani.
