NGC 2025 (also known as ESO 56-149) is a small open cluster located in the Mensa constellation.[2] It was discovered by British astronomer John Herschel on February 8, 1836. NGC 2025 is situated south of the celestial equator and, as such, is more easily visible from the southern hemisphere with a visual magnitude of 10.94. NGC 2010 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 6 inches (150mm) or more and is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud with an angular size of 1.90 arcminutes.[3][4]
