Intergalactic Wanderer

Intergalactic Wanderer

This is the 10th magnitude NGC 2419, the Intergalactic Wanderer from 1.5 hrs of data from the itelescope 300 mm Newtonian and SBIG 11M CCD camera in New Mexico taken in Feb 2019. Once thought to be a traveler between galaxies, this globular cluster is peculiar in that it is far from the zone of globular clusters in the sky and it is at a much greater distance than our satellite galaxy the Large Magellanic Cloud. If it were as close to us as other globular clusters like M13, it would be the brightest globular in our skies.
