Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 2103
24" (4/5/08 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): this LMC cluster and emission nebula appeared as a bright, very large oval glow, ~3'x2'. Five stars are involved including two mag 12/13 stars. Excellent response to a UHC filter at 200x and with this combination the nebulosity has a very high surface brightness. At the center of the emission nebula is Sk -71¡51, an unusually hot and intrinsically bright star. The cluster is the O-association LH 110.
