Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 7575 is probably CGCG 406-044, just one degree south of Marth's otherwise
not-too-badly-determined position. The description matches, and the
considerably fainter galaxy just to the south would probably have escaped
Marth's attention.
The identification as a star (by Reinmuth, copied by Carlson and RNGC) seems
less likely given that a "Faint, small, very little extended" nebula would be
well-seen in a 48-inch telescope. Still, Marth has probably picked up a few
other stars, so this remains a possibility, however -- ahem -- faint.
Another, even less likely possibility, is that N7575 is NGC 7562 with a 1.3
minute error in RA. The one-degree digit error strikes me as a better bet.
Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7575
18" (10/25/03): faint, small, slightly elongated, ~20"x15". Difficult to pin down orientation, though appears roughly E-W. Forms a 1' pair with fainter MCG +01-59-028.
