Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 2399 and NGC 2400 are a pair of triple stars found by George Bond with the
Harvard refractor on 26 Feb 1853.  Bond gave only one position (closer to 
N2399), but Schultz later measured both.  D'Arrest has the two 1 minute of 
time further east, but Bond and Schultz are correct.
