Corwin's Notes

===== NGC 2151. This is misidentified in the Hodge-Wright Atlas of the LMC as Shapley-Lindsay 798; it is actually SL 786.

Steve's Notes

===== NGC 2151 30" (10/13/15 - OzSky): at 394x; moderately bright, small, roundish, 35" diameter. A mag 15.2 star is resolved on the southwest edge and a mag 14 star is at the northeast end. The bright nucleus is nearly stellar, so on first glance it looked like three collinear stars. A 13" pair of similar mag 12.6/12.8 stars lies 4.5' ENE and a mag 10.6 star is 3.7' SSW. Located 12.6' NW of NGC 2157.
