Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 1575 = NGC 1577. Muller's RA is 23 seconds of time too small, but his
note about the "* 9.5 P[A] 185 deg, [distance] 2 arcmin" insures the identity
with Swift's 29th nebula in his third list. Swift's RA is very close to being
correct but his declination is further off than Muller's. Swift also mentions
the "* nr s", so it is clear that they found the same galaxy.
The identity was first noted by Herbert Howe in a paper that appeared in the
first issue of Monthly Notices for 1900. Dreyer has this as a note in IC2,
simply saying "1575 = 1577 (Ho.)."
