Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 1122 = NGC 1123.  Swift's position is nearly identical to that given in 
the GC, yet neither he nor Dreyer caught the identity with the Herschel's
nebula.  These things happen to the best of us.  

Swift, by the way, mentions a star near to the north.  It is there, about 2.0
arcmin away from the nucleus.  There is also a faint edgewise companion to the
brighter galaxy on to the northeast of Swift's star.

Steve's Notes
