Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 763 = NGC 755.  This is the southeastern of two pretty bright nebulae,
originally found by WH.  Fortunately, Stone has left us a sketch of the object
which clearly shows it to be N755.  Assuming that he found both nebulae the 
same night, the northwestern (N757) is almost certainly identical to NGC 
731.  See the discussion of NGC 757 for more.
