Great Glob.

One of the finest individual objects in the southern sky would
undoubtedly be 47 Tucanae (NGC 104). This globular cluster lays in the
constellation of Tucana, the toucan. Containing approximately 100,000
stars, this object looks like a fuzzy star with unaided vision, but
binoculars or small telescopes provide breath-taking views. Photo
