NGC 2030 in the LMC
NGC 2030 is a young star cluster embedded in an emission nebula and H II ionized region, located within the Large Magellanic Cloud in the constellation Dorado. Some catalogues, including OpenNGC, swap the names NGC 2029 and NGC 2030; this page follows SIMBAD and most planetarium software, which call the cluster at RA 05h 35m 34s, Dec −66° 02′ NGC 2030.
