Carlos, thanks.  Boattini is definitely a fuzzball although a little easier to spot than many are. It was much easier than the last time I saw it back in early May--going south agreed with it. 
Rony, thanks also. Comets are very cool--like DSO's that move.  The 15x70's I use are very good and I recommend them, especially if you have a limited budget. They are the Kunming Series 8 binos imported by many reputable dealers and sold under various names--Garrett Optical Signature, Oberwerks Ultra, Orion Resolux, APM Germany HD, to name a few. Ed Zarenski did a very thorough review of them in this report.
HTH,
