Description:
M80: It is brighter and more prominent than I expected. It cannot be resolved.
The center region is brighter than the outer regions. It has a pretty high 
surface brightness.
M19: Brighter in the center and a faint halo is visible. No resolution. High
surface brighness. Like M80, M19 does not give new detail in 72x.
M62: The surface brightness is lower than M80 or M19 but it is still higher
than that of M4. Fuzzy and its center is somewhat brighter. No resolution.
