Steve's Notes

===== NGC 2093 14" (4/3/16 - Coonabarabran, 184x): this stellar association (LH 109) is located just 20' NE of the center of the Tarantula Nebula and less than 1-' SSE of a mag 7.2 star (HD 38617). It appeared as a fairly bright, fairly large mottled glow, roughly 1.7' in diameter. A mag 11.7 star is at the west edge. Several faint stars are resolved around the edges, including ones at the north, northeast and south side. A mag 9.4 star (HD 38654) is 3' NW and a mag 9.4 star (HD 269975) is 6' WSW.
