47 Tucanae (NGC 104)
47 Tucanae is a globular cluster located in the constellation Tucana. It is about 16,700 light years away from Earth, and 120 light years across. NGC 121 is also visible near the lower left corner. The exposure time was too long and I burnt out the core. Image will need to be repeated. Taken in windy conditions with a bright moon (75.3%).
