Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 5067 is a double star just 30 arcsec north of Marth's position.  He found
this and NGC 5066 on the same night in 1864.  His position difference between
the two (6 arcmin) is close to what we see on the sky today (5.3 arcmin), and
the two stars match his description -- "vF, vS" -- very well.
