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.

My personal Favorite Steve ..N6752 Mag 5.4 and 20" in size just ahead of M22 at Mag 5.1 and 32 secs of arc ; which seems to resolve well in very small apertures.. e.g.100 ED or 90mm SW Mak and 19mm Pan.
