I really enjoyed that. I was out with 10x50's two nights ago, in a paddock between Interloch and Cape Patterson. Skies were lovely and I had a blast.
NGC 6397 in Ara is a wonderful object - just jumps out at you through the binos. I too was surprised just how easy Centaurus A was - it was a bit of a neck strainer as it was right overhead, but very easy to pick out. I spent a lot of time trying to pick out M24 - I've never been able to tell exactly what the star cloud is, and with nice dark skies it was so easy to get distracted by the surroundings.
Lot to be said for a nice dark sky and binoculars. Wish I'd had room to pack my scope though!
