Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 2203
14" (4/3/16 - Coonabarabran, 184x): this LMC cluster (outside the Hodge-Wright Atlas) appeared fairly bright and large, round, ~1.4' diameter, unresolved but slightly patchy or mottled with a weak concentration. A mag 12.4 star is off the NW side [1.6' from center] and a mag 14.5 star is off the south side [1.6' from center]. Located 46' SSW of mag 5.1 Alpha Mensae.
The galaxy IC 2164 lies 9' NE and was logged as "faint, small, round, 30" diameter, fairly low surface brightness, no concentration. A mag 14 star is 1' SE."
