The Sombrero was a small candle flame shape, with a discernably bright core, pale blueish in colour. Too squished to be a globular cluster.

M83 was the same size, but more round in shape. Not knowing any better I would have said it resembeled a small but intense globular cluster.

I am so totally stoked!
