Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 1914
30" (10/15/15 - OzSky): at 303x; fairly bright cluster and HII region, elongated NNW-SSE, at least a half-dozen stars resolved over an irregular glow extending 1.5'. Good contrast gain with a NPB filter at 152x. The size increases to ~2' and a small, very bright patch (LHa 120-N195A) is prominent on the northeast end. A mag 12 star is 4' E.
