Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 1862.  JH's description, "vF, R, 30[arcsec]" suggests that he saw more 
than just the southern clump of stars.  So, I've put the position a bit north
to include the stars in the northern clump.

NGC 1862

24" (11/18/12 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): fairly faint, fairly small, irregular round, 25" diameter.  Two mag 15-15.5 stars are resolved on the north side [6" separation] and a knot on the south side just resolves into a 4" pair.  A wide 30" pair of mag 11/12.5 stars is 2.5' S.
