About this image

NGC 4147 is the BAA Deep Sky object of interest for April.

This is a relatively small globular cluster, ranking 112th in luminosity (magnitude +10.7) among the Milky Way globular cluster population. It is around 60,000 light years away from the Sun.

Not in the Unistellar app I had to manually input coordinates RA/Dec (J2000) and trusty Stellarium was spot-on.
