Steve's Notes

===== NGC 152 18" (7/10/05 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): at 128x this SMC cluster appeared as a fairly faint, fairly large, round glow, ~2' diameter. At 228x, the cluster has a fairly smooth, fairly low surface brightness with no core and no signs of resolution. NGC 176 lies 13' ESE. Located 1.2¡ SSE of 47 Tucanae.
