Thanks for posting that Falcon,

We have this in the SOD database here:

NGC 5139

Surface brightness is 99.9! I gotta see it through a good scope soon

I can't see it from here

A few things in the Southern hemisphere that I REALLY want to see some day....
Omega Centauri
Large and Small Magellanics
47 Tucanae
The Jewel Box cluster
Alpha and proxima Centauri

One day......................................

Sadly I am away from my home and 10" dob for a while here in Sydney Australia, however that is one of the reasons i would like to get a "cheap" goto SC to see these amazing objects which i may never get the chance again

Right now I cant even identify most of the constellations here where I could easily spot a dozen constellations or so in the Northern Hemisphere.

update: to make sure i dont forget, i now have it embedded into my sig (thanks for Everything getting me motivated to make one!)
