Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 2412 is a star found by J.G. Lohse.  I suspect its companion 10 arcsec
south, mentioned by Lohse, has contributed to an appearance of nebulosity at 
the eyepiece.  The other star Lohse mentions in his notes is SAO 115663, a
"star 8 following 59 seconds, 1.5 arcmin south."  Lohse's position for N2412
is also good.
