Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 1943

30" (10/15/15 - OzSky): fairly bright, moderately large, round, thin halo, 0.8' diameter, quite mottled but not resolved in poor seeing. A mag 14 star is just off the NNE edge, 0.6' from center.  I didn't use the NPD filter, but the red DSS shows some nebulosity is involved (LHA 120-N 130).  NGC 1938 and 1939, a very close pair of clusters, lies 14' NNW.
