Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 1605

17.5" (1/23/93): at 220x this is a very faint cluster of 15 stars mag 13.5-14.5 in 4'-5' diameter.  The resolved stars appear around the periphery forming an irregular oval outline.  The central region is lacking in resolved stars but consists of unresolved haze.  Mag 7.7 SAO 39630 is 10' ESE at the edge of the 220x field.
