Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 1367 = NGC 1371. Ormond Stone found NGC 1367 sometime in 1885 or 1886,
and as with the other nebulae in the first Leander McCormick list, gave its RA
to only a full minute of time. This put it about 20 seconds of time west of
NGC 1371 (accurately placed by the Herschels) and earned it its own entry in
NGC.
However, Stone made the magnitude 13.0, actually one of the brightest in the
LM list of "new" nebulae, and he has a ninth magnitude star 5.0 arcmin north-
east of his nebula. That star is there (as is a fainter one about 3 arcmin
northeast), making the identity with N1371 certain.
