Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 506 is a star just over an arcmin southwest of NGC 507.  It was seen and 
its offsets measured on one night by LdR.  The offsets are good and the 
identity is sure.

Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 506

24" (10/4/13): this number probably applies to a mag 15.3 star 1.3' SW of the center of NGC 507, beyond the halo.
