Well done Carl. NGC 362 is easy if you can find 47 Tuc. At the moment it is up and to the right a bit. They are basicly on the side of the Small Magellenic Cloud so if you can see that naked eye, it makes finding 362 easy.
Eta Car is "above" NGC3532, both are naked eye visible.
Congrats on the Jewell Box, still my favorite cluster, mainly 'cos it wa sthe first NGC object I found by myself! Still love looking at it and seeing all thopse faint jewells sparkle. The main red star in the centre I beleive is a red giant (Type M2Iab supergiant SAO 252073).
