Great report Paddy, many thanks for sharing.

NGC 6752 in Pavo is an absolutely gorgeous GC for sure.
In my report I had, " One of the prettiest GC's I've seen! Very bright, granulated, bright core and bright stars sprayed out. Good size. Bright (mag 6?) star to the right. Heavier concentration N of GC, S of GC are two trails of stars. Elongated south. 120x."
It pretty much matches your report- and I observed it thru light pollution. Definitely has become one of my favourites.

I'll have to see if any galaxies on your list are within reach for me. I did try NGC 6744 GX in Pavo (not on your list) a couple of times but failed and I think that was one of the brighter ones in that area.
