Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 3548 = NGC 3540. Both numbers are from JH, but his position for N3548 is
1 min 9 sec too far east. This probably represents a 1 minute error somewhere
along the line from observation to final position, but without JH's original
papers, finding the error will be difficult. The identity of the two numbers
is assured by JH's notes (for NGC 3540) "... a * 7m p, distance 7 arcmin to 8
arcmin" and (for N3548) "... a * 8m precedes." The star is very close to 8
arcmin preceding, and is about 25 arcsec south.
