Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 4824 = Big. 61, found by Bigourdan while he was measuring positions in the
Coma Cluster area, is a star.  Bigourdan's measured offsets from his then 
unnamed comparison star (GSC 01995-01009) are exact, and refer unambigously to
another star (GSC 01995-01329).  The GSC position is identical, within the 
errors, to Bigourdan's.
