Hi Paul,
Great report mate -- much enjoyed!
Yep I like M2 too -- realy nice "waist" to it and resolves well.
NGC 7213 is one of three galaxies I use at Sydney Observatory (in the CBD) that can be seen in the bright skies there. Some people really want to see another galaxy. Not a lot to it, but it certainly is bright and easy to find.
Re M30, did you notice the bright star chains that radiate out on the W to N quadrant?
Re NGC 6723 -- it is a terrific object that is under-observed. Better still, is the stuff in the same low-power field! The Corona Australia nebula complex, Brs 14 (beautiful pair) and one of the best dark nebulae in the sky -- Bernes 157. I always think of it belonging to Corona Australis too.
Good to hear you got out under the sky -- really dark or otherwise!
Best,
Les D
