Description

NGC 3201 has an unusually high radial velocity and moves retrograde around the galactic centre. Palau et al published a paper in May 2021 in which they described the detection of a tidal stream belonging to NGC 3201. 
The globular cluster is about 16,000 light years away, with some galactic cirrus appearing all around it.

In May 2023, Oliver Schneider, Faried Abu-Salih and I put our remote observatory on the Rooisand Desert Ranch, Namibia, into operation and work there together as  "DSI (Deep Sky Imaging) Team".
