The URL of Marco Castellani's database ( http://venus.mporzio.astro.it/~marco/gc/ at the Rome Astronomical Observatory) gives a 404. I found his website http://mcastel.weebly.com/ which contained http://gclusters.altervista.org/ . I hope this is the "official" one. -- Ralf Muschall ( talk) 18:33, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
Here's a reference for many globular cluster distances if somebody feels the urge to populate an additional column:

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:List of globular clusters/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.
This article needs a lot of work, in my opinion. There are something like 200 globular clusters associated with our galaxy, so the list is very incomplete. Also, there are errors. For instance, M2 is in Aquarius, not Ophiuchus, and M4 is in Scorpius, not Canes Venatici. |

I searched the internet for other lists of globular clusters and updated this table with the median values from all these sources. The only Milky Way clusters that were not found in any of these sources were Laevens 1 and Segue 3. In the Local Group list, only the Sag DEG clusters were included in these sources. There are a few more clusters that were included in the sources but not in this table. I will add them soon. -- Lasunncty ( talk) 02:12, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
The Local Group list is missing: NGC 265, Julianstout ( talk) 22:07, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
@ Space2006: Can you please include sources for the clusters you have added to the list? Otherwise they may need to be removed. -- Lasunncty ( talk) 01:08, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
More unsourced entries have been added by Loooke. There is one new ref, so thanks for that. But every entry should be listed in at least one of the refs so that the data can be verified. -- Lasunncty ( talk) 09:47, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
A very recent edition of the star atlas Uranometria 2000 Volume 2 lists all of these NGC objects as globular clusters associated with the SMC. I do believe that Uranometria certainly qualifies as a "reliable source"; but, as this is an atlas, how would one link to a reference to it?
NGCs: 152, 265, 269, 339, 361, 376, 411, 416, 419, 458. Not in Uranometria, there are also at least 2 Cron clusters that are classified as SMC globulars, but I dont have reliable Cron numbers for them. Users of SIMBAD more skilled than I should be able to confirm the Cron numbers.
Similarly, Uranometria lists these NGC objects as LMC globulars.
NGCs: 1644, 1651, 1652, 1751, 1754, 1783, 1786, 1795, 1786, 1806, 1835, 1846, 1868, 1896, 1917, 1953, 1978, 1987, 2019, 2108, 2121, 2133, 2154, 2161, 2162, 2173, 2190, 2209, 2210, 2213, 2231, 2241, 2249.
I also have a random notation of an LW79, which google informs me is indeed an LMC globular.
Finally, there has been some discussion that the "globular clusters" associated with the SMC and LMC are not "true" globular clusters in the sense that Milky Way ones are, but I don't have any specific reliable source. They therefore assert that they are open clusters. As a result, some of the NGC clusters that I have listed above are listed in Wikipedia as open rather than globular. I have no idea how this issue should be resolved. — Preceding

Google images show quite clearly that it is a globular cluster; and at that size, it cant be anything other than a Milky Way one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:e422:3c01:3c16:1da9:b9e8:a08e ( talk) 11:33, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
Ref 53 on the page points (indirectly) to https://arxiv.org/pdf/1204.5750.pdf where Muñoz et al. explicitly state "This new satellite is separate from Ursa Minor by ∼ 30 kpc and 110 kms−1 suggesting the cluster is not obviously associated with the dSph, despite the very close angular separation."
