NGC 2000


Combination of 3, 3 minute images, Meade 416xt CCD.
8" f/6 newtonian at prime focus.

NGC 2000 is a small, faint cluster in the Large Magellanic Cloud. It is faintly visible with an 8" telescope as a small, nebulous spot. The only thing that distinguishes the cluster is its number.

To the upper right is yet another open cluster from the Large Magellanic Cloud. This one does not have any designation according to "the Sky" and "MegaStar".
