I've been working through a list I made by "sighting" objects (globulars and galaxies) near brighter stars from the Sky & Telescope's Pocket Sky Atlas!
NGC 2822 is just 5.5 minutes from beta Carinae, Vmag 1.7. Checked it out last night but the glare from the star and the closeness of the galaxy made it impossible to distinguish.
As Les mentioned globular NGC 6144 near Antares, Vmag 1.1, is difficult as too much glare from the star.
List attached for anyone interested ...
All stars are brighter than Vmag 6.
Most objects are galaxies. Globulars are marked with a GC.
All the ones with a Y (Yes) are easy. Can't comment on a lot of the others as haven't had time to check them visually.
If you know of any that are easy or hard, give us some feedback.
Regards, Rob.
