Re: M4 in 15x70's

I tried over several nights with my Fujinon 16x70's and could not resolve the chain of stars within M4. I need more power or better eyes at my home. I might have better results in darker skies.

Omega Centauri is visible here in south Florida. In my 16x70's it is 3x the size of M13. The telescope is more useful showing its real size and at higher magnifications is as large as the moon. How does that compare in the southern hemisphere?
