M80 is nice, if only it was much closer  I see maybe 2 dozen v. faint stars in its outer reaches with the 12", but this is based on only 1 observation for obvious reasons.
I've observed 6751 aswell, heres my notes. Seems like yours and my impressions correlate pretty well

Sab, I think its a combination of utter desperation and living north of the divide. A lot of the former as it only takes the slightest patch of clear sky and I'll be out there. Does sound like we've been seeing the same thing with 6751. I notice that as I get further into observing, the planetaries become increasingly fascinating. I think it's partly due to the maturing of my observing skills. And partly due to reading your amazing observations of them and trying to see what I can pick out. I think it makes a big difference being able to read other people's observing notes.
