NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 1970 24" (4/7/08 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): this is the 4th of 4 NGC knots in the NGC 1962-65-66-70 complex (stellar association LH 58) using 200x. At the ESO position and the Morel Atlas are three close collinear stars oriented NNW-SSE, with the brightest mag 10.8 star at the north end. Using a UHC filter, the stars are surrounded by only a very weak glow, which is not more prominent than the general haze between the other knots. Perhaps the string of stars caught his attention or this object was misplaced on Herschel's diagram.
