Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 3402 is most likely a reobservation of NGC 3411. Common admits that his
positions are approximate, and his sparce description "F, R" is appropriate
for the galaxy.
LEDA has chosen a much fainter galaxy close to the NGC position. I doubt,
however, that even a observer of Common's experience using his 36-inch
reflector would be able to dig this out.
