NGC 265 is an open cluster of stars in the southern constellation of Tucana. It is located in the Small Magellanic Cloud, [4] a nearby dwarf galaxy. The cluster was discovered by English astronomer John Herschel on April 11, 1834. J. L. E. Dreyer described it as, "faint, pretty small, round", and added it as the 265th entry in his New General ...

Feb 10, 2007 · We determine the age, metallicity and initial mass function of three clusters, namely NGC 265, K~29, NGC 290, located in the main body of the Small Magellanic Cloud. In addition, we derive the history of star formation in the companion fields. We make use of ACS/WFC HST archive data.

NGC 265 Is a bright globular cluster 30 arc minutes east north east of NGC 256 . The cluster is 1 arc minute in diameter with a slight condensation toward the core, the cluster fades in the outer region gradually to the sky background. The Globular cluster is bright at 11.9 magnitude and is visible in a 6" telescope.
