Where can you find the Magellanic clouds?
The Small Magellanic Cloud circles around the South Celestial Pole almost opposite the Southern Cross (Crux), so you can use Crux to find it. Just follow the long line of Crux from the brightest star at the foot (α Crucis) for about six lengths of the cross - you'll see the SMC as a patch of light nearby if you're in a dark enough area. Once you've found the SMC, look about one hand-span towards Crux, and you should see a larger bar-shaped patch of light - the Large Magellanic Clouds. Because they're so close to the South Celestial Pole, the Magellanic Clouds can only be seen from the southern hemisphere.

Can you see your own galaxy in the night sky?
No you would see an entirely different vista. Most of the stars you can see from earth would not be visible to the naked eye from the galactic core, and they would also be lost in a blaze of glory of the core suns. From within a planetary atmosphere you probably would not be able to see stars even at night, due to the ambient light. The core suns are packed about a quarter of a light year apart.
