NGC 2419 - Finally found it!

[Phil Fargaze]

The intergalactic wanderer. It has eluded me for a long while, but now with the help of being in the dark sky location of the Spring Star Party at Kelling Heath I had a great view of it. I even managed to draw a sketch of it too. My frantic scribbled field notes were- "A faint circular patch below two bright stars, the 20mm Nagler and the 8.8 Meade UWA gave similar contrasts".

The Intergalactic Wanderer (I prefer Intergalactic Tramp) has always fascinated me. At nearly 300,000 light years away it must be one of the furthest Milky Way objects we can see - nearly 10x further than most of our regular globular clusters like M13, M3, M5, M92 etc. This is a quick snapshot from a while ago.

Might have a go at imaging that - not heard of it before - sounds like a challenge!

[Phil Fargaze]

It certainly is `enigmatic` Nice image Mike, now that I can recognise the star field I might try and get a visual of it from home, slim chance though!

You beat me to it, I have been hunting for this one for ages and thats with 16" of aperture, just goes to show how important dark skies are.
