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.

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