Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 1669
14" (4/7/16 - Coonabarabran, 184x): extremely to very faint, small, round, 25" diameter. Two mag 14 and 13 stars lie 1.4' NW and 3.5' NW, respectively. An asterism of 5 stars, including two mag 10 stars collinear with the galaxy, lies ~7' WNW. I couldn't hold the galaxy steadily with averted although it was viewed in poor conditions (very hazy skies and positioned well west of the meridian). Located in northwest halo of the LMC.
