[AZ-Observing] NGC 1605

     This is a bona fide cluster.  It may have been overlooked since
the stars are relatively faint.  Some time ago I determined the center
accurately, and this may be the position in Archinal's book and in
MegaStar, which are themselves linked now database-wise.  The center is:

NGC 1605:  4 34 53  +45 16.3 (J2000)

The main body is about 5' diameter.  Have a look at this position
using your favorite DSS server with a 0.3-deg field and you'll 
see how it sits in the field.
