Hi Dana,
Greetings to you there in the Karoo.
HP 1 is the "easier" of the two and we have observed it from a dark sky site some
four hours west of Sydney in a 20". It's only a little more than 2 arc minutes across and
not easy to spot in the glow and myriad of field stars in Ophiuchus.
Your Ton 2 position from UA is one that is commonly in error.
On Argo Navis we have it at 17:36:10.5 -38:33:12 J2000.0
Your position is over 40 arc minutes away.
It is about 3.4 arc minutes across and again challenging against the Milky Way
in Scorpius with some brighter field stars in front of t. A brighter star nearby does
not help.
Best Regards
Gary Kopff
