LMC Observations Chart 3

These are my own observation notes. Some notes by much more experienced and eloquent observers are available on the internet and I will endeavour to provide links to such reports as I track them down. I hope to complete observation notes on all the objects listed on the charts for both Large and Small Magellanic Clouds and to provide links alongside each of these notes to relevant web articles and to the objects on the charts. Hence this section of my own tabulated notes, which will be revised as I expand and improve my observations. If you have your own observation notes on Magellanic Cloud objects, please email me at patrick@cloudsofmagellan.net.au as I would love to post them on this site. Data for NGC and IC objects are from the NGC/IC project and those for other objects are from the ASNSW's presentation of catalogues revised and summarised by Mati Morel. The Digitised Sky Survey images have been downloaded from the Space Telescope Science Institute's web site   and are 10'x10' unless the object is larger than this.

NGC 1783 Open Cluster

 04h 59m 08.8s -65ยบ 59' 07"

V mag 10.9 Dia 2.9'

3,6

This is readily found 30’ to the NNE of the NGC 1760 complex 175X Large, 3’ dia round smooth cluster with central concentration but no resolvable stars. The core seems to be about half the width of the whole cluster.

 

Journal article - is 1783 one of a distinct sub class of clusters ?
