Steve's Notes

===== NGC 2107 30" (10/13/15 - OzSky): at 394x; very bright, large, round, 1' diameter. Contains a very large bright core with only a thin fainter halo, slightly mottled but no clear resolution. Two mag 12 and 13 stars are 3' and 4' WSW and two mag 12.5 and 13 star lie 3.5' and 4' WNW. NGC 2107 is surrounded by several small clusters (these were all picked up by just examining the field): S-L 691 and S-L 692, a close pair of open clusters, is 5' ESE, S-L 676 is 4' N, S-L 684 is 5' NNE and H-S 398 is 9' NNW. S-L 676: moderately bright and large, round, 35" diameter, smooth glow with no resolution. S-L 684 is 2.4' ENE. S-L 684: fairly faint to moderately bright, smooth glow, 25" diameter, roundish, no resolution. S-L 691: faint or fairly faint, small, round, glow, 25" diameter. S-L 691 is the northern of close pair of LMC clusters with S-L 692 just 48" S. S-L 692: fairly faint, fairly small, slightly elongated glow, 35" diameter, no resolution. H-S 398: moderately bright, fairly small, round, soft glow, no resolution.
