Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 513. This is one of the galaxies that WH found the night of 13 Sept 1784.
This, along all but one of the others, have poor positions in NGC. RC3
managed to get the correct position, however. See NGC 537 for the story.
Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 513
13.1" (8/8/86): fairly faint, small, elongated WSW-ENE, weak concentration. Located at the NE end of a line of four mag 12-13 stars which extend to SW; the closest mag 13.5 star is 0.9' SW and is followed by a second parallel line of stars. NGC 512 lies 9' NW. Incorrect RA by 0.6 minutes west in the RNGC and plotted incorrectly on the U2000.
