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.
