Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 6064 = NGC 6052.  Dreyer's note in the Scientific Papers includes the 
following comment:  "H did not observe the nebula in the centre of the field, 
but applied a correction of -0.7 minutes of time, which appears to have been
too small."  In the 1912 Monthly Notices list of corrections, he adds, "The
identity with 6052 is certain."  WH's declination is the same as Marth's,
whose RA is very good, too.
