Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 2515 is a double star. As with many of the other "nebulae" found at
Harvard College Observatory during its early years in the 1850's and 1860's,
there is no nebulosity associated with the stars. Poor seeing? Poor optics?
Until someone examines the Observatory's early records in detail, we just
won't know. In the meantime, however, the published position of NGC 2515 is
very good, and the identity is certain.
