Description

I have not observed this object. 

I obtained the calibrated lights frames used to create the final image from Telescope Live. The frames were imaged by the CHI-1-CMOS Telescope at the El Sauce Observatory in Chile.

Fornax 4 is about 7 Gyr old which is 3 Gyr younger than the other Fornax GCs. It only has red stars in the horizontal branch of its HR diagram. It has a strong similarity to Ruprecht 106 which is described as a young metal-poor GC.
