Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 122 and NGC 123 are probably stars. Tempel published only the sparce
descriptions; the NGC positions are apparently among those that he sent
directly to Dreyer. There is certainly nothing at these positions except a
faint star in the case of NGC 122 (which Bigourdan measured). Ironically, I
think that this star may be the northeast of Tempel's "nebulae," so that
it would be NGC 123 and not NGC 122. NGC 122 may be the equally faint star
about an arcminute southwest of Bigourdan's star. See NGC 123 for more.
