Steve's Notes

===== NGC 1907 17.5" (10/12/85): 50 stars in a 7' diameter. Includes a few bright stars but very rich in fainter stars in the central region. A wide pair of mag 9.5-10 stars is at the south end (9.6/9.9 at 52") and a closer pair is off the NE side (h699 = 10.4/11.6 at 10"). Located 33' SSW of M38. 13" (11/5/83): dense, about three dozen stars. 8": rich, glowing cluster, compact, includes two bright stars to the south.
