Sounds a very good night Liz, thanks for the report. I wonder if the small object near 47 Tuc was NGC 121. NGC 362 is a pretty decent size GC, quite resolvable and you probably wouldn't refer to it as nebula like. It's also at the other end of the SMC to 47 Tuc. 121 is a much smaller target, not resolvable and looks like a small bright patch of fuzz. I think it actually belongs to the SMC whereas 362 is a Milky Way glob and much closer. I think.
