Steve's Notes

NGC 1813

30" (11/6/10 - Coonabarabran, 264x): first in a string of three clusters with NGC 1823 4' ESE and S-L 200 7' SE (within stellar association LH 18).  Appears as an irregular 45" glow with a single brighter mag 14 star on the south end and three fainter stars aligned E-W resolved on the north side.
