Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 2753. The NGC position, from d'A, is one minute of time too large. This
is an improvement over N3575 and N3760, found the same night, which both have
errors of 1 hour in the positions listed by d'A (well, we all have bad nights
...). See them for more.
Speaking of bad nights ... The galaxy is an SB(r)0+ with particularly bright
patches where the bar intersects the ring. In the DSS1 images, the northern
patch is bright enough that both Wolfgang and I mistook it for an interacting
companion. The DSS2 images show us that we were wrong.
