Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 1775.  JH's single position is southeast of the core of this scattered
cluster or association.  He makes it a full 2 arcmin across, while I can trace
it on the DSS2R only out to half that size.  JH does call it "vvF, irr R",
however, a pretty accurate description.

Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 1775

30" (10/14/15 - OzSky): bright, elongated ~E-W, 35" diameter, mottled.  A couple of mag 16-16.5 stars occasionally resolve around the edges.  A mag 14 star is 0.9' NW.  The unresolved background glow of the LMC is remarkable just to the east.  NGC 1754 lies 13' W and NGC 1766 is 13' NNW.
