Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 5826 is almost certainly identical to NGC 5870, in spite of the large
difference in RA (7.0 minutes of time). In addition to the NGC description,
Swift's original description in his first list adds these comments: "Star
near; [GC] 4058 [= NGC 5866] in field." These additional notes make it
pretty certain that Swift was looking at NGC 5870 (which he rediscovered two
nights later). In particular, NGC 5866 is too far from his nominal position
for N5826 to be in even his 33 arcmin field. N5870 is close enough, though,
and it has the star nearby.
