Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 19. As with NGC 6 (which see), NGC 19 is unambiguously identified by
Swift's note about the surrounding star field: "... in center of 3 very faint
stars forming an equilateral triangle, two of them double." The double stars
are northwest and southwest of the galaxy, with the third star being east-
southeast. Swift's position for the galaxy also shares the systematic offset
of NGC 21, NGC 7831, and NGC 7836 from the true position.
Concidentally, Swift's position for NGC 21 (which see), while closer to
NGC 20 (as pointed out by Courtney Seligman), has been mistakenly applied to
NGC 19 in RNGC, UGC, and UZC.
Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 19
17.5" (10/17/87): faint, fairly small, slightly elongated SW-NE, diffuse. A mag 15 star is 1' SW. Located 9' S of mag 6.8 SAO 53694. This galaxy is misidentified as NGC 21 in RNGC and UGC and NGC 19 is listed as nonexistent in RNGC.
