About this field

The most massive globular cluster in the Galaxy, and probably the stripped core of a dwarf galaxy. A brutal test of how the pipeline handles extreme stellar crowding.

The image above is procedurally generated. Source positions, colours and crowding are derived from the field's galactic latitude and character and from the band's pivot wavelength, and every exposure of a field draws the same sky so dithers line up — but none of it is data from the telescope.
