Hi Steve!
I'm glad that you included Palomar 12, in spite of the low surface brightness. I bagged Pal 12 after only 2 years of trying using my TMB 203 f/7 and a Pentax 10 XW eyepiece. It was *ephemeral* to say the least. I first picked out 3 stars (cluster members?) before it flickered in and out of view using AV. Finding this globular is a lot easier than seeing it.
