Description

The NGC 2808 is an interesting Globular cluster, not as spectacular as 47 Tucana or Omega Centaurus however it has many interesting features, as its composition and abundances. In the image seven galaxies can also be spotted, two not so faint, quite in the diagonal bottom left to upper right corners. The other five are quite faint ones but with patience can be seen. An interesting article about this cluster is in (quite technical but it has some nice descriptive issues inside):
