Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 2837 is a double star found by JH on 16 Dec 1827. He mistook it for a
nebula, perhaps on a night of poor seeing, but correctly noted that it is west
of a brighter star. His estimated distance to the star was 8.5 seconds, while
the actual distance is 9.2 seconds, good enough agreement that the identity
can be regarded as pretty certain.
