Description

NGC2419 the Intergalactic wanderer imaged with a C14 and an Atik 460.

It was earlier beleived that this globular cluster was floating around between galaxies but nowadays we know that it is tied to the Milky Way though about 300 000 Ly away, farther than the Magellanic clouds and by far the most distant cluster in our galaxy.
