Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 2652 = NGC 2974. Searching for NGC 2652 during work on ESGC, I could not
find it. When I came back to the number two decades later, I tried larger
errors. The galaxy finally showed up one hour later on the sky, and is NGC
2974 which was seen by both WH and JH. Stone's position is otherwise about
3/4 of a minute of time further east, a common error for him and his
colleagues at Leander McCormick. His description is spot-on, including the
9th magnitude star at 240 degrees position angle, 0.8 arcmin distant.
