Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 1774
30" (10/14/15 - OzSky): very bright, moderately large, roundish, ~45" diameter. Appears as a clumpy string of stars ~E-W, surrounding by unresolved haze. A couple of faint stars are resolved on either end of the string and a few very compact knots and stars "pop" in the main glow. The cluster appears on the verge of more extensive resolution though would require very high power due to its compactness. In a fairly poor star field with a mag 10.2 star 4.1' NW. NGC 1747 is 17' WNW.
