Hi Michelle,

Thanks for recounting your night-time adventure into astronomy.
Amazing coincidence that you can talk to someone on the forum and find out that person is a neighbour.

I assume you are talking about the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) and Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).
The bright globular cluster in Tucana is 47 Tucanae or 47 Tuc for short.
The cluster near Scorpius' Tail was probably M7 or Ptolemy's Cluster.

Regards, Rob
