Corwin's Notes

===== NGC 4327 is perhaps one of the two stars near NGC 4321 and NGC 4328 listed in the table. I don't see anything else "south of [N4328]" that Tempel might have included in his sketch. See NGC 4322 for more details. There is what appears to be an asterism of four stars on the POSS1 version of DSS near the nominal position for N4327. This is in fact a single star with a group of four plate defects superposed. Malcolm noticed this, and I'm grateful that he called my attention to it.
