Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 7493 is a star.  Its micrometrically measured position and its 
description, from a single observation by Bigourdan in October 1886, clearly 
identifies it.  Bigourdan was not so sure about it the second time he saw it:
"Star 13.3 around which I suspect an exceedingly faint trace of nebulosity of 
which the existence is not certain."
