Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 737 is a line of three stars in the corona of NGC 736.  This object was 
variously seen as a single star and as a nebula by the early observers.  Lord 
Rosse seems to be the first to list it as possibly nebulous, so Dreyer 
included it in the NGC.  Reinmuth found only the three stars at the place of 
Lord Rosse's nebula (shown in his sketch of the group around N736, and 
measured micrometrically by him in October 1850), and that is all that I see 
there on the POSS, too.
