Very interesting thread! Steve, I'm amazed that there was resolution of the stars in Jimi's telescope. While I still haven't read the thread fully, in the interest of sharing, I thought I'll link to my observing reports on these objects which I wrote as an article for the Austin Astronomical Society's newsletter in Feb 2015.

The observing report itself is somewhere towards the end, as part of the newsletter.

I remember someone (probably Steve or Dana?) writing about Fornax 6's mysterious status. Needless to say, I was afraid of its faintness, and used that as an excuse to avoid pursuing it or avoid any mention of it in the report.
