Great report Liz. Lots of great targets. NGC 6302 is one of the best PNE out there for detail. Did you catch the "ansae" in NGC 7009? I've managed to see 1 spiral arm and the central bar in M83 from my outer suburban location with a 12"...not obvious for sure, but a bit of scrutiny and averted vision reveal them. How did NGC 4361 look? I see an elongated "S" shape against a perpendicular background haze.
47 Tuc actually has 2 nearby clusters, with all 3 seperated by the same distance and nearly in a perfect striaght line...the only such arrangement of globulars in the entire sky.
One is NGC 121 as has been mentioned, located to the north of 47 Tuc, but there is another slightly fainter cluster... ESO 28-19 located a similar distance south of 47 tuc. Both 121 and 28-19 belong to the SMC.
