IC 1626
Andrew Murrell
This is a 2' cluster that appears to be partially resolved. The resolved stars are on the western side of the cluster. It has a low surface brightness with no central condensation. The
OIII filter does no change the view of the object. There appears to be 2 12
th magnitude stars located 5' west of the cluster. IC 1626 was still easily visible with the 14" apature mask.
