Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
Though Joseph Lunt's discovery position is 3.5 arcminutes too far south, there is no question about the identity of this planetary. Lunt found it visually with a "24-inch o.g. [objective grating] prism" and placed it "immediately S.f. C.P.D. -21° 6502" and added, "The nebula is 2s.5 pr. a slightly brighter star of the same declination." He estimated the magnitude as 12-13, called the object "stellar", and has it on two plates taken in June and July 1901.
