Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 7754 is one of the Leander McCormick objects found by Frank Leavenworth.
Fortunately, he has left us a sketch with the galaxy and two stars.  These
confirm the identification as the brightest of three galaxies southeast of
NGC 7759.  The RAs of both galaxies were corrected by Herbert Howe -- hence
the shifting of the NGC numbers out of RA order -- and included in the IC2 
Notes.
