Thanks Les! Pal 7, 8 & 9 are my limit I'm afraid. I did read an observation report once that claimed Pal 9 (NGC 6717) was "a challenging object even in a large aperture scope" but it was quite easy in a 4.5 inch. Tiny fuzzy glow beside a bright star, averted vision not needed. Pal 8 was also relatively easy as a small round dim glow. Pal 7 (IC1276) was much more difficult, large dim very faint glow that was in and out of vision. The only resolving going on was resolving not to attempt any more Pal globular clusters with this scope...
