Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 2005
30" (10/14/15 - OzSky): extremely bright, fairly large, round, 45" diameter, very bright core, mottled halo, high surface brightness. No resolution except for a couple of extremely faint star around the periphery. Located 2' NE of mag 9.1 HD 37121 along the southeast side of the LMC's central bar.
I noticed two nearby faint clusters. H-S 332, just 2.3' S and 50" SE of the mag 9 star, is a faint 20" glow with no resolution. S-L 514 was also picked 3.3' SW. It appeared fairly faint, elongated WSW-ENE, 40"x25", grainy but no resolution. A mag 13 star is off the southwest edge.
