Palomar 14

I observed this object on 5 October 2021 at the Okie-Tex Star Party using a 22” Obsession UC Dobsonian: This globular cluster looks like a 14th magnitude star. It is right next to a 12th magnitude star that provides a nice comparison. With averted vision I had a hint of a halo but, at best, it was barely there. This is the most distant globular cluster I have observed.

Note: Upon further inspection I have concluded that the 14th magnitude star mentioned in my observation is a foreground star.

Palomar 14 is about 3 to 4 billion years younger than a typical galactic cluster.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
