My observations of the globular did not extend beyond the
web page I was looking at. Sorry for any
misunderstanding. I was merely sharing the results of a
google search.
I did observe 3 of the companions of 7331 with the 8" but
I'm sure someone out there has seen them with a much
smaller scope. The real challenge would be to observe
the brightest companion with a 4" refractor from a very
dark sky, which is an ongoing challenge I indulge in
without success.
