Hi Pat,
you have the same size bino's as me and that region of the sky is pretty dense with things to look at. Eta Carina and its surrounding clusters will give you plenty to look at. OC is the only globular cluster around that area viewable through the bino's so your description sounds right. Its just visible with the naked eye on a good night. Its like a fuzzy patch of light in 15x70 so you wont see any individual stars, but still quite a beautiful sight. I use it as my reference point as its the first thing I usually look for in the sky this time of year and I can determine what type of sky I have by seeing how bright it is each time.
Have fun with your new Bino's
Rod
