Given you've gone out of your way to look at 86 of the "cotton wool" blobs, I suspect you're biased! But, very well done!
However, I'll work my way through Glen's list in the next few months and see what I think then. I know about six of them so far. I'll try 30x bins versus 8" reflector. So far, the 30x bins don't resolve stars in much of the central part of the ones I've seen - no surprise. I like to see some resolution of stars - we are talking in the Milky Way here - pretty close (relatively
)!
Thanks
