Well, I THINK I found this last night (1st sept) In the 6" refractor. @ 50 & 60X it did not really resolve very well, which makes me suspicious that I was perhaps looking at something other than the starfish. I followed the map put up on here though & I put the scope right on it. surely there can't be another globular so close to this area.

Anyway, it was definitely a semi bright globular cluster. I did resolve a couple of stars in the centre of the glob. I have a rough sketch of what I saw & will get it a bit better & post later. BTW It sounds like I should have tried some higher mag to resolve the "arms".
