Should I be able to see the Magellanic clouds from my location, 30' north 80' west? If you can see the Crux from 25' north then the Magellanic clouds should be well above my horizon. Just would like some input. Thanks

Sorry Dale, not even close. You will be able to see down to -60 degrees of declination, and MC are basically at -70 - and they should be high enough above the horizon to be seen at all. I repeatedly could not see them from the tropic of Capricorn (but I hope to).
