Best,

Let's not get too specific Les. Allan's original reply to my post was only a list of Globular Clusters grouped together in reasonably compact fields. The task at hand now is to see which of those groups can actually be observed and with what equipment. One group that does interest me is M4, M80, 6144. This group spans 4 degrees, so the 31 Nagler and NP 101 is one of the few combinations that may pick it up. But 6144 is often difficult to see in the glare of Antares, so can it be observed?
