Yeh I'm going to second that Marc, lets think about this for a bit, Steve actually imaged a globular cluster that has never been noticed before, in all the years the skies have been photographed and imaged even in surveys by Palomar, AAO, ESO etc, never been noticed, then some bloke in sunny Canberra Australia decides to wack an IR filter on his camera and point it at another glob in the field and low and behold, pow there's another of the blighters, a never before seen globular - pretty cool
