Very nice list BTW Suzy. NGC 5286 is a nice choice. It has that bright adjacent yellow field star which makes it unique compared to most other bright globs.

Many thanks John, I really appreciate your input.
If you don't mind, I would really like to consult you a bit later in the year for a few objects for my next list.

I also plan on tackling Steve Gottlieb, Les Dalrymple & Richard Jakiel for a few too, so look out everyone!
