Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 2136
30" (10/13/15 - OzSky): at 394x; extremely bright LMC cluster, large, very mottled and lively, relatively large bright core. A mag 13-13.5 star is at the northwest edge and a mag 14 star is at the south edge. Roughly a dozen stars are resolved in total. A mag 10.8 star is 1.5' NNW and a mag 12 star is 1' SSW. Forms a striking double cluster with NGC 2137 1.4' NE (the two clusters form a gravitationally bound binary system). NGC 2125 lies 11' W and NGC 2150 (a galaxy) is 15' ESE.
