Observations of The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC)
IC 1612
IC 1612 is an open cluster that appears as a 1' diameter round haze found about 2' south of
IC 1611. The cluster appears partially resolved into stars of 14
th to 15
th magnitude. There was no central brightening though. The
UHC filter gave a slight response but the resolved stars were lost. I was able to see the cluster with the 12" aperture mask with direct vision.
