NGC 371, also called Hodge 53, is an open cluster 200,000 light-years (61,320 pc) away located in the Small Magellanic Cloud in Tucana constellation. It was discovered on 1 August 1826 by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop.{{cite web | url = https://cseligman.com/text/atlas/ngc3a.htm#371 | title = New General Catalogue Objects: NGC{{nbsp}}371 | last = Seligman | first = Courtney | website = Celestial Atlas | access-date = 29 August 2024 }}
