Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 2062. JH's position is 1 minute 10 seconds of time too small in RA,
though his declination is correct as is his comment, "... north of 2 stars
10 m." The remainder of his description is appropriate for this small
cluster: "vF, E, glbM, 40 [arcsec] ..."
Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 2062
18" (4/6/16 - Coonabarabran, 236x): moderately bright, fairly small, slightly elongated N-S, 30" diameter, mottled. Some extremely faint stars are on the verge of resolution including one at the north or northeast edge. Two mag 9.8 stars lie 1.6' S and 2.9' SSW. A small, low surface patch, ~20"x15" NW-SE, was noticed 4.7' W. On the DSS, it appears to be a possible uncatalogued LMC cluster. S-L 643 lies 10' SSE. It appeared fairly faint, fairly small, round, smooth surface brightness. Located 4.7' E of mag 8.4 HD 38305. A mag 12 star is 2' SE.
