I saw it in binoculars last spring through the light pollution of Hurricane. I may have to go out to Warner Valley, where we were last month, to get a better view. I viewed it through my 15" Obsession at Black Rock Rd, AZ back in 2002. My scope was all the way down when I viewed it. It was huge and bright. I would like to see it higher in the sky someday.

It would be interesting if I could spot Omega Centauri from there.

Theoretically it can be seen from as far north as SLC but it only gets a bit over 1 degree above the southern horizon.
It has been seen from Rush Valley.
From Bryce (and St. George) it reaches about 5 degrees.
In early June it transits about 2215 MDT.
