Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 1852
18" (7/10/05 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): at 128x, this rich LMC cluster (possible globular) appeared moderately bright and large, round, 1' diameter. Fairly low surface brightness with a weak concentration to a slightly brighter core. Forms the northern vertex of a triangle with two mag 10 stars (HD 34038 and HD 34143) 7.4' SSW and 6' SSE, respectively. NGC 1846 lies 21' NW.
