While Omega Centauri is the biggest and brightest glob in the skies... for sheer beauty you can't beat 47 Tuc (and only a little bit dimmer). The really dense core openning out to the marvellous sprinkling of stars is breath-taking, especially under dark skies, a large scope and reasonably low power. I think one of the children at a school night summed it up perfectly "Oh! It looks like someone has spilled a heap of hundreds and thousands on a black cloth".
Can't help remembering those words every time I look at it.
