Alex,
As soon as you gave me a hint I found them straight away on Stellarium
Big star cluster with nebulosity is NGC 346
Middle cluster with nebulosity is NGC 371
Small cluster with nebulosity is NGC 395

And yes they are located to the right of the SMC about 1 degree

A lot of folk prefer other planetariums for locating objects and navigation for their mounts, that’s fine there’s lots of great Apps out there , but I’m a big EQMOD and Stellarium fan , have been for 5 years
I use it to plan a nights observing with my 12” Goto dob plus tracking and Goto for my imaging
Cheers
Martin
