Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 719 = IC 1744.  D'Arrest's RA is 13 seconds of time off.  This is close
enough that either Dreyer or Javelle might have had some questions about the
identity, especially given that the descriptions are so close.  Well, that
didn't happen, so the galaxy has two numbers now.

Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 719

17.5" (12/8/90): very faint, very small, round, broad concentration.  Two mag 14 and 15 star are close east.  The bright double star Gamma Arietis (components 4.4/4.7) lies 30' S.
