Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 1014 is a double star not too far from Muller's position.  It is 
positively identified by his note "1st of 2"; the second is NGC 1018, a galaxy 
about three arcmin to the northeast.  Muller's relative position for the 
galaxy -- +0.2 minutes and +1 arcmin -- is close to the true relative position 
-- +9.4 seconds and +1 arcmin 47 arcsec.  Muller's descriptions are 
appropriate, too.
