NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 7510 18" (10/9/04): beautifully rich, small cluster with a triangular or wedge-shaded outline. Roughly 50 stars are resolved in a 4'x2' region with additional sprays of stars extending to the SW and NE. There is a well-defined border of brighter stars running SW-NE along the south side of the wedge with the brightest mag 9.6 member at the east end of this string. There are several 11-12th mag members, but most seem mag 13 and fainter. The north end of the giant HII complex Sh 2-157 lies ~30' E. 17.5" (10/17/98): very pretty triangular wedge of stars in a 5x2' group. There are brighter stars at the west and east vertex with the brightest star at the following end. Within the triangle are two dozen stars oriented SW-NE including a number of mag 14-15 stars on the eastern side. Just following the main grouping are another 8 or 9 stars that may be part of the cluster. Picked up while viewing nearby Sh2-157. 13" (9/9/83): striking at 62x, about two dozen stars in a wedge-shape elongated SW-NE. Compact cluster Mrk 50 and HII region LBN 11 is ~30' ESE.
