Super, Rick! Yes, I was thrilled the first time I found Omega Centauri. Now you and I must have be looking at it the same time tonight! I had the 30x100s out to acquaint my visiting sister with the sky - a clear night, finally! Even in Melbourne's skyglow, it's quite a sight.

Then I flipped across to the other side of the south celestial pole and located 47 Tuc. See if you can find that globular. At the moment, you ned to wait until mid evening, else it may be a bit low in the sky for good viewing. Compare the globulars!

Have fun!
