Greetings All,
Here is a southerly globular cluster. It is a pretty loose globular (class X) and therefore an attractive globular to image if you can reach it from your latitude. A full size image and exposure / processing details are at:

(be sure to click on the image for full size)
You can pick out a couple of dim galaxies - PGC3068 and PGC766121 in the field.
