Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 6065 and NGC 6066. When Swift finally got around to publishing these two
(in his 9th list), he interchanged the declinations. Dreyer noticed this and
commented on it in the notes to the first IC. Howe noticed the note, and
reobserved the galaxies, showing that Swift's original positions (sent in a
private communication to Dreyer) are correct. So, too, are Swift's
descriptions, expanded somewhat for the 9th list.
Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 6065
17.5" (5/13/88): faint, small, slightly elongated, bright core. Collinear with two unequal double stars due east; an unequal mag 10/14 double at 21" is 2' E and a mag 10/13 double at 29" is 4' E. Forms a pair with NGC 6066 4.5' NNE.
