NGC 1743
24" (11/18/12 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): brightest section of an excellent HII/cluster complex including NGC 1737, 1745, 1748 and 1756. At 200x NGC 1743 appeared very bright, moderately large, ~50" diameter. Contains a very high surface brightness "core" with a fairly bright star involved. A larger "halo" extending mostly north roughly doubles the size to ~1.7'. NGC 1737, a faint extension with a couple of stars involved, is 1.8' NNW. NGC 1743 and NGC 1748 (a bright high surface brightness knot 2' NE) are embedded within a very large, irregular, low surface brightness haze extending ~3' (stellar association LH 5 and emission nebula LMC-N83), oriented roughly from NGC 1743 on the SW side to NGC 1745 on the NE end.
