Description

Famous "wandering" globular cluster, NGC 2419. Out of the typical galactic halo, its actually about twice as far away as the Magellanic clouds.

This was the first globular I ever tried to image - and seeing it now even after 7 hours of imaging, makes me realise this wasn't the place to start! A hard object to image well given its distance - see for example the NASA APOD - link below (I can't work out how to get links in this section of the description).
