BTW - I know it may not be too popular to
add another globular to the better than M13
list , but there is a constant debate amongst many Australian amateurs as to
which is better Omega Cen or 47 Tucane. The former is broader
and has more stars but the latter is brighter and fantastically
concentrated. Looking at Tuc 47 with a 20" and a 31 Nagler is one of life's
special moments. What did you think when you were down there? I hope you did
some visual too.
Hear hear, Monte! I second that vote. 47 Tuc is amazing
in its depth and concentration - the sort of thing that you can easily get lost
in. It ranks well up there with a wide field image around eta carina through a
refractor, or an image of Centaurus-A through a large dob - all with the right
Nagler of course!
Matt, did you happen to get a wide field shot of "the
emu" on your recent expedition?
