28. NGC5139 Globular Cluster
The great southernhemisphere globular Omega Centauri surpasses any other. From mid-northern latitudes it just skirts the southern horizon, but even so, observers regard it as the best of its class. As seen from southern latitudes it is an inspiring sight and obviously a cluster even to the naked eye. Even in a 6-inch refractor, Omega Centauri is the most amazing ball of stars one could dream of.
