Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 6049 = HD 144426 = SAO 121361. JH's description reads, "A * 7m which I am
strongly incline [sic] to think has a nebulous atmosphere about 2 arcmin in
diameter." There is no trace of nebulosity on modern photographs, and the
star has a normal A2 spectrum. It is a spectroscopic binary, but that would
not have been a factor in JH's observation.
