Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
Lunt's RA is about half a minute of time too large, and his declination is just 1.1 arcminutes too far south, so the galaxy is close enough to his position to be easily identified. See IC 5224 for more on Lunt's new nebulae.
As with IC 5181 (which see), I just have to ask why John Herschel missed this...
