Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 1400. Like several other of Espin's objects, there is no nebulosity associated with this small collection of about two dozen stars. They are probably nothing more than a random sprinkling of Milky Way field stars scattered over an area of 5 arcmin x 3 arcmin.
This and IC 1402 are immersed in the northeastern end of a large Milky Way star cloud, probably defined more by the bordering dark nebulae than by being a true stellar association.
See IC 1299 for more about Espin's short list.
