Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 3047 is presumeably the brighter of a pair of galaxies just 1.1 arcminutes 
south of HD 85384.  Apparently co-discovered by Burnham and Hough, there is no
mention in their short note about a companion (nor about the star, for that
matter).  The companion has had the suffix "A" added at sometime or other,
though I am choosing to call it simply "NGC 3047 comp".
