Steve's Notes

NGC 1836
24" (11/18/12 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): bright LMC cluster, relatively large, high surface brightness, very elongated NW-SE, 1.2'x0.4'. The dominant portion of the cluster is on the NW end and appears bright, roundish, 25"-30" diameter with a few stars resolved just outside the glow. A 14th magnitude star is off the SE side and connects to a small knot containing a very tight string of 15th magnitude stars. Forms a striking pair with NGC 1839 2.5' E. HS 109 is 5.4' S and several other small clusters are in the field.
