TON2 - Les Dalrymple presented some observational information in the July 2002 issue of Sky & Telescope (Australia or US I am not sure) " 6' N-WEST OF 4.3 MAG STAR;10 INCH NO HINT RESOLUTION OR CENTRAL CONDENSATION"
It is also listed in the revised Hartungs as object 823.
HP1 - is listed in the revised Hartungs as object 817 - "SMALL FAINT GLOBULAR NO SIGN RESOLUTION;LARGE APERTURE HELPS"
I may have seen TON2 visually with my old Galaxy Optics 14.5inch in the early 2000s from a very dark Leyburn sky but I cant find any notes to be sure.
Hope this helps.
