Description

"Kitten playing with a ball , while Mr Nasty Wasp-Nest (47 Tuc) watches close on by.*"
No, it's actually The Small Magellanic Cloud and the Globular Cluster 47 Tucanae (NGC 104 - bottom left). Though seemingly adjacent, 47 Tucanae is in fact approximately 200,000 l.y. distance from the SMC.
