Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 5069 = NGC 5066. N5069 is another of Ormond Stone's discoveries with the
Leander McCormick 26-inch refractor. His position, like those of many of the
other nebulae found there, is too far east in RA, but approximately correct in
Dec. This, and his appropriate description, gives me considerable confidence
in the identity with N5066.
