I enjoyed your report too, Matt. Observing in company adds another dimension to the experience.

Tuc 47 is certainly a visual magnet. Another globular cluster that I enjoy revisiting regularly is NGC 6752 in Pavo. I find it a striking bright, dense cluster with a spray of sparking yellow stars across the face of the cluster. This is using a 140mm refractor - I have not had the opportunity to observe the cluster through a large aperture. I would be interested in your thoughts if you get the opportunity. Of course, nearby is the large galaxy NGC 6744 to gaze upon.
