Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 1734
24" (11/18/12 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): moderately bright, fairly large, 1' diameter, very irregular shape, mottled. At 200x, a couple of extremely faint mag 16 stars are resolved at the edges. NGC 1732 lies 7.3' NNW. In addition I logged three clusters not plotted on the Morel Atlas: KMHK 193 4.7' WSW, KMHK 189 6.9' SW and S-L 75 9.7' SSW. The S-L cluster was brighter and larger than many NGC objects in the LMC. At 200x it appeared moderately bright and large, round, 45"-50" diameter, broad concentration, no resolution.
