Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 7132.  Spitaler was the first to notice that Swift's RA of this galaxy is
22 seconds too large.  However, Swift's description is not bad:  "vF, pL, lE;
bet 2 sts; 5 sts w? in the form of a pyramid.  My memory locates the stars
east of the nebula."  Swift's memory is, however, wrong.  The stars are indeed
to the west as his observing notes describe.

Steve's Notes
