Steve's Notes

NGC 419
30" (11/6/10 - Coonabarabran, 264x): very bright, large, impressive, large bright core, fainter halo, 2' diameter. Mottled and lively but not resolved. A mag 9 star lies 8' S and a mag 7 star lies 9' SE.
18" (7/10/05 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): quite bright, fairly large, round, 1.8' diameter, moderately concentrated, granular but no resolution. Appears like an unresolved globular cluster with a very symmetrical appearance although classified as a rich open cluster. Located 9' NW of mag 7 HD 7187 and 7.5' N of mag 9 HD 6997.
