Kron 7 is the faint, fuzzy patch at the bottom of the yellow line. It helps to use the stretched out W to find the location below and to the left of 47 Tuc to find it. The much brighter, larger and easier to find Kron 3 is just to the right of the star on the right edge of the picture
Kron 7, an Extra Galactic Globular Cluster in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Doing a plate solve shows this is the correct field, but Aladin doesn't show this globular cluster or any other feature there at the given coordinates.
After some searching around I found a webpage mentioning Kron 7. The page had a picture but no other data. It turns out that the picture was actually the neighbor Kron 3. Plugging those coordinates in to SkySafari and Stellarium showed new coordinates, but unfortunately those of the wrong object. I found a new web page with a sketch of the area that documented 47 Tuc, Kron 3 and Kron 7. After an email with John Bambury it was decided that the coordinates in the original list were off a bit. Using RA 00:27:45.453, and Dec -72:46:51.24 nailed it.
The date and time for the true picture on the left: 02/12/2024 @ 09:00 UT. All other imaging information was the same. Sinbad labels it as open cluster ESO 28-22.

Observations: Moon about 9%. Object 30 degrees from the moon. A bit difficult to see, but it extends over a wide area, possibly 1/8 the FOV. The stars are dim, none bright. Almaak just out of the FOV. Many stars, some range of brightness, and not much central concentration. SkyWatcher: It is huge! 3/4 the fov of the 32mm (70 minutes) with too many stars to count. Impressive!

Sometimes my scope's gotos are great and then there was this one…almost out of the field. Luckily it is big and bright enough with color that it still popped out of the field like a stop sign. Easily a 5.6 magnitude based on the comp stars.

Best Month: January Binning: Tough! Very low brightness and is difficult to see. The bright central area shown in pics is more of a star in my up. Disappointing. Too dim to estimate the size.
