NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 2095. JH picked this cluster up on two nights. He descriptions read, (20 Dec 1835) "A star 9 m, chief of a F irreg oblong cluster 3' in extent", and (2 Jan 1837) "Cluster, irregularly elongated; not very rich". This makes it clear that he was not referring to just the clump of stars -- perhaps a cluster in itself -- at the eastern end of his "cluster", but to the entire elongated star cloud, 3 x 1.5 arcmin, centered at the position in the table. The 9th magnitude star he measured is a bit closer to the western end of the cloud.

===== NGC 2095 30" (10/13/15 - OzSky): Although Herschel described a large "oblong cluster", the brightest subgroup is at the east end (S-L 669). It appeared as a bright, moderately large patch, irregular, 1' diameter, with several mag 13.5-14 stars resolved around the edges. A separate patch lies 1.3' W with a mag 11 star 2.2' W. A group of stars (KMHK 1253) is 1' NW of the brighter star. The entire collection forms the stellar association LH 112, a 3'x1.5' group of resolved stars highlighted by S-L 669. Located 8' NE of mag 7.0 HD 38616.
