Description

From a Pro Data set from Telescope Live acquired through my subscription. There was a reflection artifact in the lower right corner in 5 of the 7 blue subs that I was able to take care of with local normalization to remove the glow caused by the artifact and Adam Block's selective rejection to remove the artifact itself.

This bight naked eye object was first observed as a star so it was given a star's designation. Because of its low southern declination it took some time before it was discovered to be a globular cluster.
