Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 2075 is a star-forming region in the LMC. While there is no doubt about
its identification, the position is a bit uncertain. The center of the nebula
is a few arcseconds southeast of the brightest star (or central knot?) in the
object. I give both positions in the table; take whichever is most appealing
to you.
Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 2075
24" (11/18/12 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): very bright, irregular, triangular-shaped, ~50" diameter. Near the center is a very bright knot consisting of a few extremely close stars. A couple of additional stars are resolved within the glow and a number of stars are near the edges. The cluster is surrounded by faint nebulosity (LMC-N213) which doubles the size of the object. Forms the vertex of an isosceles right triangle with mag 9.4 HD 38174 4.5' W and a mag 10 star 4.5' S. Third of three clusters with NGC 2056 9' WNW and NGC 2038 20' NW. NGC 2107 lies 24' ENE.
