Description

I have not observed this object. I obtained the calibrated lights frames used to create the final image from Telescope Live. The frames were imaged by the CHI-1-CMOS Telescope at the El Sauce Observatory in Chile.

Discovered in 1968 by Terzan. Because Terzan 3 is located in the hub of the galxy it is obscured by interstellar dust. Color magnitude analysis in 1998 indicate Terzan 3 is metal rich. 

Shapley Sawyer Classification: Not determined (Probably XII)
Distance: 26,748 LY
Type: Hub Globular
Position w.r.t. core of galaxy: In the MW hub nearly right above the core.
Any stars resolved: N/A
Undergoing Core Collapse: No
