Steve's Notes

===== NGC 2328 18" (2/19/09): at 175x appeared very faint, small, round, 20" diameter (probably viewed brighter core region only). Steadily visible with direct vision though viewed at a very low elevation, so the surface brightness of the core is moderately high. Starhopped from mag 5.2 HD 53704 located 23' SE. Steadily visible with direct vision though viewed at a very low elevation, so the surface brightness of the core is moderately high. Located in a fairly rich star field.
