You may have been a bit washed out by the light from Launi. A good way to pick up 47 Tuc is to use binos., its very obvious. You can then star hop to it pretty easily. There's also another small glob near by NGC 362, which is quite easy. The Tarantula was also probably a bit washed out but should have been pretty easy in a scope..

takes practice, but well worth the effort. See if you get away from city lights. Bridgenorth, a bit West of where you are would be pretty good I reckon. Keep at it...
