Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 7555 is probably one of the following: NGC 7515, NGC 7536, NGC 7559, NGC
7563, or NGC 7570. If I were betting, I'd narrow it down to N7536, N7559, or
N7563. Here is JH's full description: "F, R, bM; place very loose; two or
three more nebulae suspected in the neighbourhood."
There is a fairly rich, scattered group about a degree north of JH's "very
loose" position. Just about any of the brighter of the galaxies in it could
be the one he saw, with the some of others being his "suspected" nebulae.
Just to be sure, I checked for other objects found in the same sweep; there
are only two, N14 and N7810. JH's positions for both are well within an
arcmin of the modern positions, so there is no reason to suspect a systematic
offset in the position of N7555. There certainly is, however, a large
accidental error.
