It seems I have to install Picasa on my machine to view that file . |
I would probably agree with the exact 5 Ron has selected.
One that I really like which has not been mentioned by anyone is NGC 6397 in Ara. I could easily include it in my top five. If I was to do so I would probably drop out NGC 2808. They are very different, but both excellent globulars. On top of that, NGC 6397 has quite a bit of scientific significance. It is the 2nd closest globular to us (M4 being the closest), it has also undergone a core collapse and contains some of the hottest and most luminous stars of any globular cluster. Because of this and its close proximity, NGC 6397 contains the individual brightest stars of any globular cluster.
