Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 1027 is probably also = IC 1824, which see.

Note that the position Brian has chosen for the cluster is that for HD 16626 
-- perhaps rather ironically as it is a foreground star.

Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 1027

17.5" (11/27/92): 90 stars in 15' diameter, fairly scattered but still a striking cluster. Surrounds mag 7.0 SAO 12402 and includes about 15 mag 10-11 stars and many mag 13-14 stars.  A number of the stars are arranged in spiraling rays emanating from the dominant star.  The cluster is composed of a mixture of bright and faint stars.  

8": includes a dozen stars mag 8 to 12.5.  Fairly small, rich, over unresolved background haze.
