Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 2224 is perhaps the elongated gathering of stars centered about three
arcmin southwest of the NGC position. It looks to me like a random
fluctuation in the Milky Way, though it is overlain by an extremely diffuse
band of nebulosity. This area should be examined telescopically -- the POSS
is crowded with faint stars.
