Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 2238 is a small patch of somewhat brighter nebulosity in the much larger 
Rosette Nebula.  It was found by Marth in 1864 with Lasalle's 48-inch 
reflector, which probably accounts for Marth's ability to see the faint star
embedded in the knot.  See NGC 2237 and NGC 2239 for more on the Rosette.
