I found M-79 Sat. night with my 10" SCT. All I could see was a fuzzy spot with an occasional sparkle. What should I be able to see, at what magnification? Thanks

M-79 is kinda far to the south! I can break up M-79 in my 14.5" Starmaster, in mag 3.5 skies. But a darker sky really helps. I am in Florida.
