Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 2849
24" (2/22/14): at 200x appeared as a mottled 2' glow with only a few stars resolved. At 260x, roughly 20 stars pop in and out of view, some in small knots, in only a 2.5' region. Several resolved stars are along an E-W string on the north side. A number of bright stars are in the field including mag 9.3 HD 80623 3' SE and a similar star 3' NE. A striking 25" linear triple of mag 10.5-11 stars lies 3' W.
