Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 2150
30" (10/13/15 - OzSky): at 394x; fairly faint to moderately bright, fairly small, oval 4:3 or 5:4 NW-SE, 0.7'x0.5', smooth halo then suddenly increases to a bright, very small core. A mag 16.5 star is at the southeast edge. Located 9' SW of mag 8.0 HD 41158 and 15' ESE of the LMC cluster NGC 2136. So, this galaxy easily shines through the thin outer halo of the LMC.
