Oops, let me try that again. HW 41 fine. But Kron 42 = Lindsay 63 at 01 00 35.2 -72 21 57 is missing from the table.

I happen to notice this as I made an observation of this object awhile back...

30" (6 Nov 10 - Coonabarabran): Kron 42 is a bright, very small knot, ~30" diameter. Contains a very bright core and a small fainter halo. A single mag 12.8 star stands out at the SW edge. Third of three in an obtuse isosceles triangle with IC 1642 2.5' W and IC 1641 4' NW. Located ~14' SSE of the center of NGC 346, the most prominent object in the SMC.
