Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
NGC 8 is a double star about 3 arcmin northwest of NGC 9. Both objects were found by Otto Stru ve in September 1865, NGC 9 on the 27th, and NGC 8 on the 29th. Struve's relative positions for the two are good, though his absolute positions are -12 sec and -2 arcmin off. His measurement of the 10th mag star about 6 arcmin east-southeast of NGC 9, however, clearly identifies the two objects he saw.
