It was news to all of us back in 1994(?) when this galaxy was
discovered! You likely will not see this thing as a 'galaxy' shape
because its getting mixed into the Milky Way galaxy. You can see a
globular cluster, long assumed to be a native of the MW, that's really
within the Saggitarius dwarf galaxy. So, it's the brighest example of
a globular cluster you can see in an other galaxy.

That would be M54, a fairly easy binocular object. So if anyone asks
if you've seen an extragalactic globular cluster, now you can tell
them.

Three other (much dimmer) suspects are Arp 2, Terzan 7 and Terzan 8.


Clear skies!
