Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 7453 is a double star at Peters's position. I had called it triple
earlier, but that is wrong. There are only two brighter stars with blended
images on the IIIa-J plate, giving the appearance of a triple. The SDSS shows
the two stars clearly with two much fainter ones east and west of the brighter
two. The images are also almost in contact with the 11th magnitude star 15
arcseconds north that Peters noted in his description.
