Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 1929 is part of a large star cloud in the LMC found by JH, easily
identified by reference to JH's sketch of the area published in the CGH
Observations (Plate III, Figure 2). See NGC 1934 for more information.
Besides NGC 1934, the other NGC objects involved are NGC 1935, NGC 1936, and
NGC 1937.
Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 1929
24" (4/7/08 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): this HII knot is the first in an impressive star cluster/emission complex (stellar association LH 47) that extends over 7' in size and includes NGC 1934, 1935, 1936, 1937, and IC 2126. At 260x it appeared as a bright, moderately large, round glow of ~50" diameter surrounding a 13th magnitude star.
On the DSS this object appears to be a symmetrical bubble. This HII complex and cluster includes the superbubble complex N44
