Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 5436 is one of a line of three nebulae found by Temple (N5437 = I4365 and 
5438 = N5446 are the others).  It's likely that WH saw at least one of these 
objects, the northern-most and brightest of the group, N5438; see N5446 for 
more on this.

Except for N5438, Bigourdan mangled the names here; he mistook a nearby star 
as a nebula as well.  So, N5437 has ended up with "IC 4365" (which see) on it 
in addition to the NGC number.
