Description

M54 Globular Cluster in Sagittarius. Compare this picture to other amateur images on the internet of M54 and you'll see that it is a very difficult globular to image. One reason is that it is very far away (87,000 l.y.) and not even a member of our galaxy. Since 1994, it has been recognized as being a member of the extragalactic Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy.
