Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 1059 may be the double star about an arcmin east of JH's position. He
recorded the object only once, and then described it as "eF; hardly sure."
Dreyer noted that this object was found neither by d'Arrest nor by Burnham.
The suggestion that N1059 is the double comes from Reinmuth.
