Tuc 47 is certainly a visual magnet. Another globular cluster that I enjoy revisiting regularly is NGC 6752 in Pavo.

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.
You’re spot on Steve - NGC6752 through a large aperture (16” in my case) is a stunning target.
