Observations of The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC)

Lindsay 1

Is a globular cluster, located 2^o Southwest of 47 Tucana.

I have included this cluster in the list even though it is not on the charts as it is easily, visible in a 10" telescope.

The cluster appears as a 2½ arc minute hazy patch with no central condensation. The outer edge of the cluster is fairly well defined. The brightest stars in the cluster shines at 14th magnitude, so that when it is viewed through 16" and larger telescopes the cluster should start to resolve. 30-arc minutes north of the cluster is a 7th magnitude star which helps in locating the cluster.
