Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 2239 = NGC 2244, the bright young cluster in the center of the HII region 
called the Rosette (see the discussion under NGC 2237), was found by WH.  JH 
recovered it 30 years later during his northern sweeps from Slough, though he 
made an error of 1 minute of time in the position.  Neither noticed the 
nebulosity around the cluster; that remained for Marth, Swift, and Barnard to 
bring to our attention.
