Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 3543.  There is no identification problem with this edgewise galaxy, but 
the exact position is indeterminate:  the nucleus is lost behind patchy dust
and emission regions.  The position I have finally chosen is from the 2MASS
XSC, close to the unweighted mean of all the values that I list in the table.
