Small Magellanic Cloud

The Small Magellanic Cloud transits at about midnight (DST) this month and 10pm in November. There are 39 NGC objects in the SMC. How many can you see?
The attached file lists them and gives a crude map. It also includes 332 NGC objects in the LMC.
The data is from Dr. Wolfgang Steinicke at:http://www.klima-luft.de/steinicke/n...l_Hist_NGC.htm
Here is an image of the SMC: http://dudeman.net/spacedog/gn/smc2.jpg
