Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 1455 is probably identical to NGC 1452. The position, by Leavenworth at
Leander McCormick, is pretty poor, but the description exactly fits the
nucleus and inner bar of NGC 1452. In particular, the position angle
mentioned by Leavenworth (30 deg) is just that of the bar. The RNGC galaxy
is certainly the wrong choice -- it has too low a surface brightness to be
seen even with a 26-inch refractor.
