Steve's Notes

NGC 1928
24" (4/5/08 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): this object is one of only about 15 bona-fide GC's in the LMC. At 200x it appeared fairly bright, fairly small, round, 40" diameter with a symmetrical appearance. Forms the last of three clusters with NGC 1926 3.4' SW and NGC 1922 6' WSW, along the richly populated central bar. A very distinctive trapezoid of four mag 10-11 stars (sides 1'-1.5') is just a couple of arc minutes to the NE.
