Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 1867

24" (11/18/12 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): this LMC cluster appears as a fairly faint soft glow with no resolution, moderately large, irregularly round, 35" diameter, slightly brighter core.  Forms the obtuse angle of a flat triangle with a mag 10.5 star 2.6' S and a mag 12.5 star 1.9' NW.  NGC 1882 lies 15' NE and NGC 1887 is a similar distance ESE.
