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.
Note: This is one of the most distant GCs that are gravitationally bound to the Milky Way. It is named after Halton Arp and Barry F. Madore, who identified it as a distant globular cluster in 1979, using the UK Schmidt Telescope, after previous researchers at the European Southern Observatory had observed its existence but not its classification.
Shapley Sawyer Classification: Not classified.
Distance: 402,205 LY
Type: Far Halo Globular
Position w.r.t. core of galaxy: Below the disc and far to the side of the Milky Way.
