Steve's Notes

NGC 1830

18" (7/10/05 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): second of three in a distinctive triangle with NGC 1828 3' SSW and NGC 1835 4.6' SE.  At 228x, this LMC cluster appeared fairly faint, fairly small, round, 30" diameter and quite similar to NGC 1828.  An extremely faint, very small glow (designated BRHT 3b in SIMBAD)is 1' SW, on a line towards NGC 1828 (verified on DSS).
