Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 7519 is UGC 12424, not UGC 12416. Marth's position and description fit
UGC 12424 very well. While Bigourdan's correction, quoted by Dreyer in the
IC2 Notes, suggests that NGC 7519 is UGC 12416 rather than UGC 12424, it
nevertheless leaves us with a large declination offset (2 arcmin) and a
description that does not fit the galaxy.
Checking Bigourdan's observations, we find that the declination he measured is
also correct for UGC 12416, so it is clear that he simply observed a different
galaxy than did Marth. To preserve Marth's priority here, we have given the
NGC number to UGC 12424.
