Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 267
18" (7/10/05 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): at 228x this SMC cluster with nebulosity appears as a fairly faint, fairly large irregular glow ~2'x1.4'. The surface was grainy with a half-dozen mag 14 stars resolved (Hodge Association 15). Good response using a UHC filter, which increased the size of the visible nebulosity. Collinear with two mag 10.5 stars ~6' SE. A string of brighter stars to the north heads east for 17' towards NGC 290. LHa 115-N25, a very small detached piece ~2' N, appears as a 15" glow and increases the total size to nearly 5'.
