Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 211 = NGC 203. Stephan misidentified his comparison star as BD +2 92; his
star is actually GSC 0014-1250, not in BD. Within his mean errors, Stephan's
offsets, applied to the correct star, point exactly to NGC 203. This was
later picked up by Copeland with LdR's 72-inch, and was correctly positioned
by him.
A star that I had earlier pegged as the possible object that Stephan saw is
about 0.5 arcmin south-southeast of Stephan's incorrect position used in NGC.
Though I've not reduced Bigourdan's two measurements of "NGC 211," I suspect
they refer to this same star.
