Thanks, Steve. We totally agree with the sentiment. If you've seen one globular cluster, you've seen many. I have a few favourites. M4 has that sheep's face line or streak across it. The Crackerjack has a kind of spray of wheat, best seen visually. 47 Tucanae is dramatically different with its yellow-moon centre. Hunting for blue stragglers is interesting because of its significance. Some are in interesting or pretty fields. There's probably no point in photographing all 150 of them.
This fellow is perhaps special to me (Mike) because it's huge, slightly elliptical, and perhaps really a galactic nucleus, but also because it was the very first thing I saw in a telescope when I was a nipper.
