Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 1450.  Howe corrected Swift's RA which is 16 seconds too large, an error
this object shares with three others that Swift found the same night (NGC 652,
N1509 = IC 2026, and N1594 = IC 2075).  See NGC 1677 = NGC 1659 for more about
this night of Swift's observing.

Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 1450

17.5" (11/17/01): fairly faint, fairly small, slightly elongated, 0.7'x0.5' SSW-NNE.  Several faint galaxies are situated nearby.  LEDA 994022 is 2.4' N and I recorded a very faint star or galaxy at or near this position.  But even closer (1.7' W) is the brighter edge-on LEDA 993557, which I apparently missed, so I'm not confident of the observation.
