Corwin's Notes

===== NGC 7334 = NGC 7322. JH has just a single entry for this object in CGH, but it carries this note on his last of three observations: The obs makes the RA 29m 06.5s [but the minute is implied as "28"] and as the PD fails of a perfect agreement [it is 1.5 arcmin north of the mean of two other measurements], it is not impossible that this may be a different nebula. In GC, however, JH added a second entry to cover the possibility of that "different nebula", but with no note beyond some question marks. Dreyer copied this into NGC with the simple query "? = G.C. 4812" added to the description. Since there is nothing at JH's place a minute following the galaxy, the second number clearly has to be applied to the galaxy, too.
