Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 1786

24" (11/18/12 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): exceptionally bright, relatively large, round, 45" diameter, extremely high surface bright core.  A mag 11-12 star is superimposed just northwest of the core!  This is one of the old globular clusters in the LMC.  KMHK 412 was picked up as a very faint glow 6.5' SE and just north of two mag 13 stars.
