Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 2214

18" (4/3/16 - Coonabarabran, 236x): this young massive LMC cluster appeared very bright, fairly large, noticeably elongated E-W, ~1.6'x1.1'.  About a half-dozen stars are resolved around the edges and within the main glow.  Well concentrated with a bright central region and a slightly mottled halo.
