NGC 288, NGC253, Dean Ketelsen
Another pair of objects that happen to fall along the same line of sight. NGC 288 is the globular star cluster on the lower left of the image, and NGC 253 is the "nearby" galaxy, both visible in small telescopes in the constellation Sculptor.  The cluster and stars visible in the image are part of our Milky Way galaxy while NGC 253 is estimated to be 9 million light years distant.  This image was taken with a Meade 80mm F/6 apochromat, .8X field flattener and Canon 20Da DSLR.
