Corwin's Notes

===== NGC 3167 is almost certainly NGC 2789 with a 1 hour error in the RA and a 1 arcminute error in the declination. The "* 11 preceding 9.5 seconds, slightly north" that d'A notes in his description is just where he puts it in relation to the galaxy. There are few other objects in d'A's list with big digit errors (NGC 3575 is an example). D'A also notes that it could be a small cluster, but the night (1 May 1862) was bad, and he never reobserved the object.
