Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 812.  During my earlier push through the NGC, I had noted a "comp or knot
on [the] distorted [southern] arm" of this galaxy.  I gave a 1950 position for
it, measured by offset from the nucleus, of 02 03 45.2, +44 19 47.  But now,
in December 2013, I don't see anything there on either red or blue DSS images
that would rate special mention.  So, I have simply removed the entry for
"N0812se" that I had there.
