Corwin's Notes

===== NGC 7622. Curious! My early list of RNGC errata is wrong, but I've not yet found out why (probably a typo). I correctly identified the galaxy for SGC, however, and ESO also has the right object. RC3 is therefore correct. But what led me to think it nonexistent? Curious, indeed! ----- The actual note in my RNGC list (dated 2 Nov 1976 from my first year at the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh) reads "T = 7 (Not found on UK Schmidt plate)." I'm even more puzzled now as this seems to rule out any simple error such as a transposition of numbers (e.g. "7262" or "7226"). This was clearly a blunder of some sort. Nevertheless, I've left this note here -- you mustn't think that I'm infallible, and it shows that you may indeed find bugs in this list of positions or in this set of Notes. If you do, please let me know so that I can fix the problem. Thanks!
