Poll, most speccy Globular Cluster
Seeing we are in the mood for polls I thought I would start one. The question is what do you think the most spectacular globular cluster is? Will the result be predictable?????

Again! 
We had this question about 6 months ago, but there are probably twice as many members now so the answers will be interesting.
For me it would have to be 47Tuc! But then again Omega C is awful close in the 'best' category.
Micko, where's the poll to vote in? 
EDIT: Oh, there it is. Thanks Micko! 
P.S. You didn't tell us your favourite Micko!!!

I am going to say NGC 104, mainly because I like the tighter core of stars now. I don't know why but it has increasingly become my favorite over OC

47 Tuc to me is the more spectacular view and more pleasing to the eye.
OC just looks like a boring old globbie, albeit a very bright one.

It used to be OC for me, but lately i'm more fond of 47Tuc.. maybe it's because that's what i've been looking at lately.
I'm sure in a few months when OC is back up, it'll be my favourite again

while omega cent and 47tuc are very pretty, the great O.C. lacks any real character and tuc while better is just really bunched up... I prefer the pavo glob to both of these.

I chose 47tuc as it is the easiest one for me to find so I have been pointing the Binnos at it quite often lately. Have seen loads more in the Eta Carina (SP???) area but have not studied the charts enough to be able to remember the names.

I like the pavo glob too and if it was brighter it could top the poll.

OC is third on my list, behind 47 Tuc and the Pavo glob. OC just doesn't have the "character" that the other two have.

This one is easy...47 Tucana followed by the Pavo glob, then OC.

this one I think depends on the darkness of the site where you're observing -
with some light poluttin
I find 47 tuc the more high fallutin
but when it's jet black and riding high
I have to give it to Omega Centauri
