Description

I have not observed this object.

I obtained the frames used to create the image from SkyGems. The frames were imaged by the Hakos iDK 20” Telescope at the SkyGems Namibia Remote Observatory.

Because this object is so close to the core of the galaxy it is heavily obscured. It is reported to be “Highly reddened and extremely concentrated.” I like to think of an object like this as being “shy.

Shapley Sawyer Classification: Not classified.
Distance: 26,748 LY
Type: Hub Globular
Position w.r.t. core of galaxy: Located in the Milky Way hub very close to the core.
Any stars resolved: N/A
Undergoing Core Collapse: No.
