This is
the one that triggered my search for all the Milky Way globulars.
It started when I found a globular cluster symbol on page 313 of
Uranometrica marked 'Eridanus Cluster' but no other identification.
A bit of research showed it to be one of the more distant remote
globular clusters bound to the Milky Way galaxy.
Distance is just under 300,000 Light Years.
This sparked me on a search to find and try to image all the other not
so common globular clusters.
