(IAAC) Globular resolution in binocs?



Hi gang

Do you know of any globulars that are resolved (partially or otherwise) in
"normal"
sized binoculars (7x - 11x, 50-80mm)?  [ Lee Cain's binoculars don't count ;) ]

I can only think of Omega Cen, about which Phil Harrington says:
"Observers with exceptional eyesight may just perceive some of" the stars, "but 
11x80 glasses will reveal scores"
