Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 2147
30" (10/13/15 - OzSky): at 394x; very bright, small, roundish cluster, 25" diameter. Contains a very small, extremely bright core. Three or four stars are resolved in the small halo on the west side and south side. Located 3.6' NNW of mag 9.9 HD 270358 and 9.5' S of mag 7.6 HD 40810. A shallow arc of 3 mag 13/13.9/14.2 stars lies 2' SE. Just north of these is a small group of resolved mag 15-15.5 stars. The collection is catalogued as S-L 785 and is part of association LH 122. The red DSS shows very faint nebulosity (LHA 120-N 75B) but I didn't notice this, at least without a filter. NGC 2160 is 15' ESE.
