NGC 1892

13.1" (2/17/04 - Costa Rica): this galaxy shines through the northern  portion of the LMC!  At 166x, it appeared very faint, fairly small, very elongated 3:1 WSW-ENE, 0.9'x0.3' with just a weak concentration.  A very faint star is just south of the following end.  Located 37' NE of the bright LMC young globular NGC 1866.
