Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 1673

30" (11/6/10 - Coonabarabran, 264x): fairly faint, small, irregular shape, 35" diameter, contains a quasi-stellar nucleus.  A mag 14 star is at the NE end and a very faint star is resolved at the west edge of the halo.  A mag 13.5 star lies 0.9' ENE.  A string of stars heads NE from the cluster.  Forms a pair with S-L 19 2' E, which is a relatively faint, small, roundish 25" glow.
