Steve, don't be so pedantic. Give it a few years looking at the sky and you will have favourites too! If one particular object wins this fun survey, God isn't going to turn the others off!

I guess the question is: If you could show one globular to someone who's never seen one thru a scope then which would you pick? (Sorry ... being pedantic again.) 47tuc & omega-cent are the obvious candidates. Omega centauri seems more tolerant to light pollution, so I guess that'd be my pick. Either that its apparent brightness is greater or that it's not sitting in the awesome glare of another galaxy like 47tuc does.
BTW How come we never hear about the other 46 Tucanaes?
