Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 7268. JH has this about 30 seconds preceding NGC 7277 in the CGH
observations, but the separation in GC and NGC is one minute larger. I'm
guessing that JH or his "computer" was momentarily confused -- or simply lost
the minute of time -- when he averaged JH's three accordant positions. These
are given in CGH as "22 15 58.7", "60.5", and "64.6" on successive lines, the
latter two over 60 to indicate that the RA minutes increased to "16".
The galaxy is an interacting pair, and was correctly identified by ESO-LV, as
well as in SGC and RC3, in spite of the RA error.
Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7268
17.5" (10/5/91): very faint, very small, round. A wide double star mag 14/15 is 1' NE. Slightly brighter of pair with NGC 7277 7.2' ENE. This is an unresolved double system.
