You know, I mentioned 5986 as a globular I'd seen
from Arizona; it took till now to really sink in
where ngc 5286 is, that Johnston caught a
globular from here that's 4 degrees south of
Omega Centauri, at 51°22'.

As you know I've systematically looked at every
globular cluster I can see from here in an 11",
and this one's on my list sure enough, set up for
a trip to Costa Rica or Chile. In my copy of
SkyAtlas on pg 21 it's glossed with "SG great
one," i.e., recommended by the Animal.

One more strange TACo logging stuff that no one
else has thought was worth the trouble. Of course
we think you're in good company, Mr Johnston.
