AM-1 (Most distant globular known)

This is quite an old image. When I originally took the image, the object was largely lost in the background.

Now that I can subtract the background the object is very obvious!

Taken with a C11 beefed up to 2900mm FL, ST-8E/AO-7 combination.
140 minute luminance exposure.

This is the most distant and one of the faintest globulars discovered.
