Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 2265 appears to be no more than a random grouping of stars.  On the POSS, 
it is an elongated group of 12th to 14th magnitude stars about 10 x 5 arcmin 
in size, centered about three arcmin southwest of JH's position.

Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 2265

17.5" (2/1/03): this is a Milky Way cloud of ~50 faint stars mag 12-14.  There is central "hole" lacking any stars, and there are no rich subgroups.  Does not look to be a reasonable cluster and candidate and in fact, doesn't stand out in the field at 100x. There does seem to be some unresolved background or Milky Way glow.
