Interesting, there's an AAVSO Alert Notice out for an eclipsing binary star in or over NGC 346, HD 5980.
"
HD 5980 is an eclipsing binary in the Small Magellanic Cloud. The system consists of two massive, stars that both have a strong wind. The primary star is a luminous blue variable (LBV) and is unstable, having erupted in the 1990s to become the visually brightest star in the SMC. The secondary star is a nitrogen-enriched Wolf-Rayet star (WN). The orbit is slightly eccentric with a short 19.3 d period. As the stars orbit each other, their strong winds collide, bringing about changes in multiple spectral lines, small changes in the brightness of the system, and strong X-ray modulation."

Currently reported at mag 11.6V, primary eclipses are predicted at the following times:
JD 2456220.8 (2012 Oct 20)
JD 2456240.0 (2012 Nov 8)
JD 2456259.3 (2012 Nov 27)
JD 2456278.5 (2012 Dec 17)
JD 2456297.8 (2013 Jan 5)
JD 2456317.0 (2013 Jan 24)
Co-ordinates are RA = 00 59 26.57, Dec = -72 09 53.9 (J2000.0).
Would be cool to follow it for a while.
Edit: Just checked the ASAS-3 light curve, the eclipse isn't a spectacular one, around half a magnitude or so, but still should be detectable visually -
