Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 1860

24" (4/5/08 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): this LMC cluster was fairly faint, moderately large, possibly elongated slightly N-S, ~35"x30", very weak concentration.  A mag 10 star lies 1.7' SW.  Picked up after viewing NGC 1863 (5.5' ENE) and NGC 1865 (9.5' ESE).  The amazing field containing NGC 1850 (brightest cluster in the LMC), NGC 1854 and 1858 is just to the SW.
