Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 4115 is perhaps the 14th magnitude star near JH's position. There are no
nebulae nearby, or at digit errors from his nominal position, that he might
have picked up while sweeping. He also notes it as "A suspected nebula,
extremely faint" which the star would have been were it seen on a less than
perfect night.
-----
The sweep has exactly the same information, and the position is correctly
reduced, so the star seems the likely object that JH picked up.
