NGC 1023 (Arp 135)

Here is a shot of Arp 135. An internet search reveals that this galaxy contains a bright globular cluster (that globular is indicated by the lines). That's kinda cool to image a globular in another galaxy! And that backyard equipment can do it!
And don't forget about NGC 1023A, the dwarf galaxy interacting with the main galaxy (left of main galaxy).

Chris if you think it's cool imaging a globular in another galaxy, how about seeing it visually? A good source of globulars that are "easily seen" can be found in M31. Arm yourself with a good star atlas and enjoy the hunt. I use "Atlas Of The Andromeda Galaxy" by Paul Hodge. If you can find a copy I recommend buying it. The first time I saw a globular in another galaxy was about 17 years ago and I recall it being one of my proudest moments. I had just rediscovered the hobby and observed M31 on a cold Chicago night with my 10" Coutler Newt. Martin

Pretty cool stuff to be able to image a glob in a distant galaxy. Nice image.

I will have to add this one to the to do list. Nice. Any color coming?
