Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
Once again, an object that I called a star based on my work on POSS1 or DSS1 has turned out to be a galaxy (see e.g. IC 3389 for another). Better plate material...
Wolf notes "similar fainter n". Dreyer interpreted this in the plural "others n". There are in fact three fainter galaxies to the north; I've put them into the table even though only the brighter two are faintly visible on the print of the original plate.
