Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 2829 is most likely the faint galaxy that I've included in the position 
table.  This is tolerably close to the position shown in LdR's diagram.

On the other hand, LdR's object may be a star, also close to the position in 
the diagram.  In addition, it is sometimes identified with a faint double 
galaxy, but that is exactly on the line between NGC 2826 and NGC 2830 -- in 
the diagram, the object is off to the east of that line.

Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 2829

24" (1/31/14): at 375x appeared very faint to faint (could hold steadily with averted), extremely small, round, 8" diameter.  PGC 3529523, a larger galaxy, lies 3.5' ENE and appeared faint, small, elongated 5:3 WSW-ENE, 20"x12.  The identification of this number is uncertain and it may apply to a star 2.9' W.  PGC 26356, situated 4.6' W is often taken as NGC 2832, but is fainter and a poor match with the discovery sketch.
