Steve's Notes

===== NGC 2682 17.5": at 140x about 200 stars mag 10-14 in a 15' diameter. Includes several rich subgroups including one on the south edge near three brighter mag 10 stars. The brightest star mag 7.8 SAO 98178 is just off the NE edge. 13" (12/22/84): about 100 stars mag 10-15 in 15' diameter, very rich and impressive cluster. 13" (3/24/84): beautiful at 88x with over 75 stars resolved at this magnification.
