Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 22 was found by Stephan in August or September of 1883.  He measured it
micrometrically, so his position is good.

However, it is not, as Wolfgang has suggested, H IV 15.  See NGC 16 for that
story.

13" (8/24/84): very faint, fairly small, roundish, very diffuse, even surface brightness.

13" (11/5/83): extremely faint, small, round.  A mag 9 star 3' N interferes with viewing.  Located 12' NE of NGC 16.
