Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 1430 is probably NGC 1440. In the same email from April 2016 in which
Yann Pothier questions the NGC 1424/1429 problem, he writes
Maybe I missed something here, but am I the only one inclined to think that
this might be identical to NGC 1440? The RA difference of 1m 35s is within
the reasonable range for the Leander McCormick team, and the position angle
is appropriate.
This is indeed a reasonable question. Leavenworth claims two observations of
this object and his description "m = 15.4, Dxd = 0.6x0.4, E 20deg, sbMN" is
appropriate (perhaps aside from the magnitude) for the center of NGC 1440.
I've adopted this as a probable identification, and have demoted the star that
Wolfgang and I had pointed to earlier to a double question mark.
