Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 7683 is the only one of Brother Ferrari's nebulae to be directly compared
to a star; Father Secchi claims it was "425 Weisse H. 23." No offsets are
given, and the published position is ten seconds of time too small, and ten
arcseconds too large. But the galaxy, simply called "Faint" is at least close
enough to the published position to be confidently chosen as the one the
Brother Ferrari saw. See NGC 7667 for more on his other nebulae about which
we cannot be so confident.
