Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 1312. The RC3 is wrong in equating this with UGC 2711. This is actually
a double star, as are many of the first "nebulae" found at Harvard by Bond
and his colleagues. The positions of these are generally very good, and their
descriptions and those of the surrounding fields make clear just what the
early observers were seeing.
