Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 7037.  JH describes this cluster as "... not very rich; irregular figure,
8' l[ong], 5' br[oad]; stars 11 ... 15 m."  This is just the sort of cluster
that exists at his position.  There is also a more compact "core" of stars a 
couple of minutes to the northeast (I put this core at 21 10 59, +33 46.1 for
J2000) that JH does not mention.  

In any case, JH's cluster is clear on the DSS.  RNGC nevertheless has it as
non-existent.

Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 7037

17.5" (8/25/95): this asterism is elongated 8'x3' in a SW-NE orientation and is situated in a fairly rich field.  Consists of about 50 stars mag 11-14.5 with the brightest two mag 11/11.5 stars near the center at 50" separation.  The region northeast of this pair is fairly rich in mag 13 stars.  Appears best at 100x where it is detached in the field.  Listed as nonexistent in RNGC.
