Great job Peter, 47 is wonderful visually, but it's tough to get

That's a fine shot Peter. Don't forget that comet C/2013 A1 Siding Spring will be close to this cluster August 29 / 30 so you might want to revisit the scene and get a comet in the shot!

Hmmm Is that the small fuzzy near by I noticed?
towards the left corner?

No that's another globular of lesser brightness than 47 Tuc.

Early evening on the 30th is closest - about 1/2 a degree.

Perfect. 29-31 I'll be in the dark skies of Kangaroo Island. Might upset the missus just a little
