Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 5588 = NGC 5589.  This was seen during a sweep with N5590 -- but N5589 was
not picked up on that sweep.  JH put it just about as far south of N5590 as
N5589 is north, the RA's are identical (to within the errors, of course), and
the descriptions are consistent (notice that JH called N5590 "vF" that night).
It looks to me like N5588 is the same as N5589.
