Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 7569 has a two-degree error in its published Declination: instead of +10
16 45, it should be +08 16 45. Swift's position then falls very close to UGC
12472.
He also noted "3 F sts sf form a small right angle triangle." The stars are
there. So, however, is another star of about the same brightness, closer to
the galaxy. Perhaps the triangle is so eye-catching that Swift hardly noticed
the closer star.
Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7569
18" (10/25/03): fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 4:3 E-W, 0.8'x0.6'. A distinctive group of four mag 12-13 stars is SE. The closest star is 2' SE while the other three are 4' SE and arranged in an isosceles right triangle with sides 0.9', 1' and 1.5'.
