Object Info

AM = Arp Madore. A very faint globular cluster, just shows here as a few very faint stars at centre of the tick marks.
Brightest star on left of field is variable GH Hydra Mag 10.1 - 10.7.
This looks way fainter than its quoted magnitude 15.9.
Claims have been made of visual observations of this cluster but then again,
... some claim to have seen Elvis!
