Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 7560 and NGC 7561 are a double star and a single star, respectively. Both
were found by Herman Schultz in the early 1860's about 1.5 minutes of time
east of NGC 7541. Though he saw N7560 three times, and N7561 on the later two
of those nights, none of the nights was very good. The first two nights he
notes as turbulent with "gales" and aurorae, the third as being interrupted by
clouds.
His positions are good, though, and point to within a few arcsec of the
objects. So it was that Reinmuth had no trouble identifying the stars; his
identifications were picked up by Carlson, and by RNGC.
