Description

Image using a OSC of NGC 1904 or M79. With this GC I complete the 10 (counting M56 that I uploaded recently, from the northern hemisphere) sausage GC, that were on the list of clusters from the Gaia - Enceladus event. This was the motivation for the collection of the 8 clusters I put in the collage, a few days ago, and to get the two missing ones.
The cluster is really surrounded by a lot of faint DSO's, some, even that are faint, can be seen in the image. 

Of course there is still a lot of theory, new data and more clusters that are been identified from this violent events involving galaxies, where GC's are accreted from one galaxy to the other. 
This is just a way to have fun and the set of images as an illustrative case, nothing else.

I this particular cluster the seeing was quite bad, you can tell by how the stars are seen, but as usual, it was fun, and the ED80 proves its capability, even in this conditions.
