Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 1841

18" (7/9/02 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): at 128x, this cluster appeared as a fairly large, round glow, ~3' diameter with a low surface brightness and just a very weak concentration.  At 228x the cluster just starts to resolve into extremely faint mag 16 stars.  This is an older-type outlying globular of the LMC and the southernmost globular in the sky.
