Hi Glen,
Well done! You can now have a crack at the nastiest NGC glob NGC 6749 in Aquila whcih is just a tad worse.
Did you try for Ton 2 near NGC 6380 (otherwise known as Ton 1)? Ton 2 is a whole next step downward in faintness -- a very, very tough object for 10-12" 'scopes even in excellent skies. I've glimpsed Ton 2 once in a 10" -- and it took a lot of time and concentration to detect it several times over a five minute period. In an 18" it is not hard at all.
The two got a mention recently in an astronomy magazine somewhere ...
