NGC 2000

30" (10/15/15 - OzSky): fairly bright, moderately large LMC cluster, slightly elongated, 50" diameter, very mottled, contains a brighter and denser core.  The halo is resolved into many mag 14.5-16 stars, particularly on the south and west side.  Located on the south end of the LMC, 25' SW of NGC 2025.
