NGC 2365
24" (2/14/15): at 260x; moderately bright and large, elongated 2:1 N-S, ~1.2'x0.6', well concentrated with a bright oval core. A mag 14 star is at the southwest edge [48" from center]. Located 32' ENE of mag 3.5 Delta Geminorum.
Forms a close pair with CGCG 117-019 2.6' SSW. The companion is faint, small, round, 18" diameter. Occasionally contains a faint stellar nucleus. A wide 15" double star is 1' SSE. UGC 3827 lies 13' NE and appears faint, small, oval 4:3, 20"x15" [core only seen]. A mag 13.3 star is at the south east edge of the galaxy.
17.5" (1/19/91): fairly faint, fairly small, oval 3:2 NNW-SSE, bright core. A mag 14 star is just off the SW side 0.7' from center and a mag 12.5 star is 1.3' SW.
