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.
