Corwin's Notes

===== NGC 2019. JH notes that there may be some uncertainty with one of his observations of this, placing it one degree further north than the other observation. He is pretty sure he is correct in the southern position, though, and a glance at the northern position shows him right -- there is nothing there.

Steve's Notes

===== NGC 2019 30" (10/14/15 - OzSky): at 394x; extremely bright, large, 50" diameter, sharply concentrated with a large intense core and smooth halo, no resolution. S-L 542 (brightest of 3 nearby clusters) is 4.6' SW, BSDL 2196 is 2.7' SW and S-L 544 is 5' NNW. S-L 542 is fairly bright, moderately large, round, 40" diameter, mottled but with no definite resolution. A mag 12.8 star is 0.9' NW. BSDL 2196 (noticed between NGC 2019 and S-L 542) is a very faint, small, round, low surface brightness patch, 20" diameter, no resolution.
