Not much, but that is the 104th MW globular cluster I've seen through the little scope.  |
Not much to add? Well I'll add a pat on the back -- 104 G.Cs in that aperture is very, very impressive. Congratulations ... and NGC 2419 is a very tough ask in that aperture so ...
Best,

P.S ... there goes my emoticon allowance for the month.
