Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 1737 is part of the NGC 1743 star-forming complex in the LMC.  See NGC 
1745 and IC 2114 for more.  There is no obvious cluster directly associated
with it, but there are many stars in the area.  NGC 1737 itself is very faint
in the DSS1 V-band image.

Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 1737

24" (11/18/12 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): at 200x appears as fairly faint nebulous patch centered ~1.8' NNW of the core of NGC 1743 and appears nearly connected.  The outline is irregular and roughly 45" diameter with a couple of mag 14 stars involved on the south side.  In an impressive complex of nebulosity (within LMC-N83 and association LH 5) with NGC 1745 and NGC 1748 as well as cluster NGC 1756.
