Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 1793

18" (7/10/05 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): at 228x, this LMC open cluster appeared fairly faint, fairly small, round, 35" diameter with an even surface brightness and no sign of resolution.  A triangle of mag 11 stars is preceding in the field.  Forms a pair with NGC 1801 6' SE.
