Steve's Notes

===== NGC 2032 24" (4/11/08 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): this is possibly the brightest section of the Seagull Nebula in the LMC (similar to NGC 2035 1.6' SE). It consists of a very bright, elongated ~SSW-NNE patch, 2'x1', with an unusual kidney-bean shape that is indented or concave on the east side. NGC 2032 is just separated to 2035 by an elongated SSW-NNE on the east side. A faint, thin streamer of nebulosity shoots to the north from 2032. Mag 11.4 HD 269808 is off the SW side.
