Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 3760 = NGC 3301. As with N3575 = N3162 (which see), d'Arrest's RA is 1
hour too large (he measured both on the same night, 21 February 1863). In
addition, his note "* 10-11 p 4.0 sec, 175'' south" should place the star
north of the galaxy, not south. With these two changes, his single
observation of his "nova" is in perfect accord with his three observations
of NGC 3301.
Dreyer notes (in the NGC Notes) Copeland's not finding the object at Birr,
discovering instead "a large group of novae preceding it" (Copeland's
Septet, which see under NGC 3743). He further comments in IC1 that the
Strassburg observer (Kobold, who apparently first suggested the equality with
N3301) also could not find N3760.
Steve's Notes

NGC 3760
See observing notes for NGC 3301. There is a one hour error in RA in the NGC.
