Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 1805
30" (11/4/10 - Coonabarabran, 264x): very bright, fairly small, brilliant core, 30" diameter. A mag 13 star is situated just off the NW side, 25" from center. The core is oddly displaced off-center in the direction of this star. A few faint stars are resolved in the halo and a mag 13.5 star is at the south edge. NGC 1783 lies 20' WNW and NGC 1822 is 18' ESE (all three collinear).
13.1" (2/17/04 - Costa Rica): moderately bright, small, 25" diameter, sharply concentrated with a quasi-stellar bright nucleus. A mag 13 star is at the NW edge (24" from center). This is a well-studied young (40 million years old) LMC star cluster. Located 20' ESE of NGC 1783.
