E3 - an obscure globular cluster

After a brief visit to the NGC I decided to go back to the obscure stuff again. This is E3, a most unusual globular cluster In Chamaeleon that was apparently once thought to be an open cluster. There is a lot of dust in this field, another thing that you don't often see with globular clusters. Other than that the field is fairly bland which probably explains why it is rarely imaged.

Cheers

Steve
