UK-1 faintest globular known imaged in near infrared.

It's quite extraordinary how the NIR filter digs this object out of the field.
The object is invisible in the combined R, G, B exposures.

Getting the colour balance right when using conventional RGB filters instead of the NIR variants proved to be quite a challenge.
