NGC 2046
24" (4/9/08 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): this is the first in a rich field of 8 NGC clusters (with the brightest NGC 2058). At 200x, it appeared bright, fairly small, slightly elongated WSW-ENE in the direction of a mag 13 star just 0.8' SW. The core seems offset from the center to the NE end or a separate knot is attached at the following end. NGC 2047 lies 3.2' NNE. Located 6' SE of mag 8.2 HD 37762.
