Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 1936 = IC 2127, which see, is another of the HII regions in this part of
the LMC found by JH. He has it in six different sweeps, and his position is
very good. It is also shown as the brightest knot in his fairly accurate
sketch in Plate III, Figure 2 of the CGH Observations. The other NGC objects
shown are 1929, 1934, 1935, and 1937.
Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 1936
24" (4/7/08 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): NGC 1936 appeared as a very bright, round glow, ~1' diameter with a very high, uniform surface brightness at 200x using a UHC filter. Situated at the south end of a large cluster and HII complex. Additional fainter nebulosity sweeps to the south and is connected with a fainter (anonymous) patch to the west by 1'. This extension increases the total size to 2' to 2.5'. NGC 1935 lies 2' NW. This number also applies to the cluster (S-L 417) that spreads out the north.
