Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 2155

13.1" (2/18/04 - Costa Rica): faint, fairly small, round, 1.1' diameter, weak concentration.  Near a scattered group of bright (mag 9-10) Milky Way stars and nearly collinear with two mag 9/9.5 stars 7' NW and 13' NW.  This well-studied (globular) cluster is an older intermediate-age LMC cluster, roughly 3.6 billion years old.
