This is a brilliant thread. I've just done a "tour" of the messier globulars and I really didn't think it was possible to see them in other galaxies. Now there is a fantastic reason to point the 12" RC onto M31 when fall comes along.

I did a little project a few years ago and identified on an image I took the globulers around M31

How is it, despite all the times I have viewed M33 I have never bothered to consider what that bright condensation is? Guess what I am doing next time M33 is in the eyepiece! set to the same magn

Everyone should learn how to drive Vizier.  Seriously. It is at https://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/VizieR

I used it last night when imaging GCs in both M31 and M33.

The brightest GCs in M31 are visual objects in moderately large telescopes. The brightest in M33 are around mag 17.5 so you are going to need a big scope and dark skies to see them through an eyepiece, though they are easy enough to image with a little patience.
