Hey Jorges, I was looking at this on Saturday night through my 12" visual scope while imaging a galaxy in Dorado through the AG12, it's a great little globular

Thanks Michael and Kevin

I love globular cluster. They seems to be equal, but each one has its own appearance. They play hard the gravity. They will be open cluster in future, although some ones colapse. And many of them are very very old; living fossil of Universe !

Always I try to show them in close up. The interior of a globular is fantastic !

You're right Kevin, there are some galaxies.

Distant only of 41,000 light years, it is thought that M 79 isn't native to Milk Way, instead it is from Canis Major dwarf galaxy, very near and beeing merged.
