Steve's Notes

NGC 1444
17.5" (11/2/91): at 220x, about 20 mag 7-14 stars scattered in a 5' diameter, not rich or impressive. The group mainly consists of a bright double star (·446 = 7/9 at 9") with a third fainter mag 13 star 12" NE of the bright mag 7 star. Close northwest is a line of four mag 10-12 stars oriented SW-NE.
The bright star (B-type HD 23675) is a member of the Cam OB1 Association in a dusty portion of the Milky Way, but the "cluster" may be an unrelated group of field stars.
8" (1/1/84): consists of a mag 7.5 star with 7 faint stars just west. The brightest star is ·446 = 7.5/9.0 at 10".
