Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 4582 is a star found by Sidney Coolidge with the Harvard 15-inch 
refractor.  He has a micrometrically measured position that agrees well with
the modern positions.  In common with many of the other "nebulae" discovered
in the 1850s and 1860s with this telescope, there is no nebulosity associated
with the star.
