Object -47 Tucanae is a globular cluster located in the constellation of Tucana. It lies at a distance of 16700 light years from Earth and is around 120 light years across. It can easily be seen with the naked eye from darks skies in the southern hemisphere.

Notes - I neglected to get the 30 second core shots for this image. I will have to correct this problem next time I am imaging.
