Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 248

18" (7/10/05 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): at 228x this fairly faint SMC nebulous cluster appeared as an irregular glow, 0.8'x0.6', elongated NW-SE.  Good response to the UHC filter at 76x.  One or two stars or knots are involved including a small nebulous knot at the southeast end.  NGC 256 lies 8' SSE and NGC 242 is 9' SW.
