Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 395
18" (7/6/02 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): easily picked up in the same field as brighter NGC 371. At 171x, this is a moderately bright 4' round knot of mag 14 or fainter stars with a good response to the UHC filter (emission component = LMC-N78). The surface brightness is fairly high with the filter although it is just described as a "star group" in Hartung. Forms a pair with IC 1624 3.2' SSE. Located 8' NE of NGC 371.
