Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 1235. Is this perhaps = NGC 1233? Found by Swift on one of his more
productive nights, N1235 is one of 13 nebulae observed on 21 Oct 1886. Aside
from NGC 58 (which see) which has a 1 minute error in RA, the other 12 objects
have no significant systematic offsets in their true positions from Swift's
discovery positions. If N1235 is indeed N1233, then it would be the lone
exception with a 23.6 arcmin error in Dec.
So, though the description (what there is of it) fits, I'm not comfortable
with this identity, and consider it provisional at best.
