Kopernik Images of the Palomar Globular Clusters:
There were 15 dim and distant Globular Star Clusters discovered during a search of the photographic plates taken with the 48-inch Schmidt Camera at Palomar Observatory as a part of the first Palomar Sky Survey. Since this list was first made it has been discovered that Palomar 1 is probably a very old Open Star Cluster and not a Globular Cluster.
The following list covers all 15 Palomar Globulars. There are links to the Kopernik images where we have them. Click on the name and you will get to our image. After viewing the picture, use your browser's Back Button to return to this list.
