Steve's Notes

===== NGC 2037 14" (4/4/16 - Coonabarabran, 142x and 230x): very small high surface brightness glow, ~12" diameter. Situated with the large stellar association LH 81 and at the north end of a 2' string to the south-southwest with three mag 12, 11 and 13 stars. This standard identification is unlikely and both NGC 2033 and 2037 probably refer to sections of the general star cloud.
