Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 1384. There is a faint double star very close to Marth's position, though
the brightest galaxy in a scattered cluster about 2 arcmin south fits Marth's
description ("Nebulous star 13m") very well -- it has a star superposed
about 5 arcsec southwest of the nucleus. The galaxy/star pair are also
considerably brighter than the double star, and are within Marth's usual error
circle.
So, while it's possible that the double is Marth's object, it is much more
likely to be the galaxy with the superposed star.
