Calling All Globular Sleuths...
Hi all,
In my seemingly endless trawl for a new comet I thought I would whip over and make sure C/2013 A1 (Siding Spring) was still afloat. You'll be pleased to know it is!
The purpose of my post is not to show the Deep Skyers a comet, but to ask if anyone knows the identity of the apparent globular cluster that is seen at about 2 o'clock to the comet in the image.
The coords of the object are: 00:03:57; -73:28:27
I have attached 2 Skyview images at 1 degree and 9 arc minutes field of view.
It is not an NGC or IC object, it is not seen on Sky Safari Pro or Skytools 3 Pro.
Can anyone help me with its identification?
Thanks
Richard.
