Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 2886 is probably the asterism of 4 stars about an arcminute following JH's
position. There is nothing else in the area that fits his sparce description,
"eeF; 50[arcsec]" from a single observation. ESO does not give an
identification for the object, but simply gives the nominal position and a
question mark for the object type.
