I just looked at Omega Centauri with a Tele Vue-60 and the following eyepieces under mild light pollution:

24mm Panoptic - 15x Outer part resolved. Inner core needs more magnification.

19mm Panoptic - 19x Same as above just a little easier.

16mm T5 Nagler - 22x Core begins to scintillate with stars. Effectively resolved.

12mm Radian - 30x Core clearly resolved.

6-3mm Nagler Zoom at 6mm setting - 60x Core easily resolved.

15 x 70 Celestron binoculars (hand held) - I shake too much! (Although I did see outer part resolved briefly)
