Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 3033
24" (4/10/08 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): at 200x, this is a small 4' group of ~30 stars situated just SW of mag 6.1 HD 85250. Many of the stars are arranged in a loop or oval on the SW side of the star, so the combination with the bright star appears similar to a diamond ring. The cluster members are fairly uniform in brightness with a number of mag 11 stars. A wide double star 5' SE (9.5/11.5 at 26") is collinear with HD 85250.
