Corwin's Notes

===== NGC 2441. Though there is no doubt about the identity of this galaxy -- it is the only one in the area bright enough for Tempel to have seen -- it is worth noting that the RA is one minute too large. The galaxy is so far north that that amounts to only a 4.3 arcminutes. The declination is a bit off, too, as might be expected since Tempel used the BD Atlas to estimate the position.

Steve's Notes

===== NGC 2441 17.5" (2/22/87): fairly faint, fairly small, slightly elongated, diffuse. Only a very weak concentration.
