NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 1934 is part of a star cloud and emission nebula complex in the LMC. It can be pretty well identified in JH's sketch reproduced in the CGH Observations as Plate III, Figure 2. The area of NGC 1934 is a bit distorted in the sketch, but individual stars can be identified that lead unambiguously to the object that JH saw. Other nebulae and clusters in the star cloud are NGC 1929, NGC 1935, NGC 1936, and NGC 1937. ----- Curiously, Brent Archinal in "Star Clusters" also uses JH's description and sketch to identify this object with a single star. I don't think this is right as JH clearly says, "The second nucleus of the composite nebula of fig. 2, Pl. III., from diagram." He refers to all the nebulae in the larger complex as "nuclei" and all are shown as nebulous in his sketch. So, it seems unlikely that this object is a single star.

===== NGC 1934 24" (4/7/08 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): this is a locally brighter patch in the NGC 1929-34-35-36-37 complex (stellar association LH 47), situated very close northwest of NGC 1935. This patch is not as well defined as the other NGC objects in this bright HII complex but is noticeable as it involves a couple of brighter mag 12 stars and a number of fainter stars.
