Description

Object type : Globular cluster
Distance : 275,000 lightyears
Radius : 260 lightyears
Mass : 900,000 sunmasses

I had seen this object through a telescope before as a faint nebula near 2 bright stars. When I started astro photographing, I decided that I wanted to photograph this object, when the oppertunity was there. This cluster is much more further away than all other globular clusters.
