Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 1445 is clearly identified by Muller's 9th magnitude star, 2 arcmin away 
in position angle 330 degrees.  Some of the Leander McCormick positions and
descriptions are sufficient for pretty solid identifications of the objects.

This galaxy has also been suggested as a possible identification for NGC 1434
(which see), but I think that is unlikely -- there is no 8.5 mag star 25 
seconds east, 3 arcmin north (or south for that matter).
