Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 7586.  Marth's position, verified on at least a second night, and copied
correctly into the NGC, falls near a galaxy meeting his description "eF, vS,
alm stellar."  For some reason, CGCG ignores this object and incorrectly puts 
the NGC number on a considerably fainter galaxy 17 seconds preceding and a 
full 20 arcmin to the south.  

At least Hubble got the right object in his thesis.

Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 7586

17.5" (11/18/95): very faint, very small, round, 20" diameter, slight central brightening.  Located 3.8' NW of mag 9 SAO 128097 and collinear with a mag 12 star 1.3' SE of the mag 9 star.  RNGC and CGCG misidentify CGCG 406-045 as NGC 7586.
