Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
Herbert Howe found this for us, pointing out that Swift's declination in the big 11th list in AN 3517 is one degree too far south. The correct declination is, however, in Swift's "Catalogue No. 1 of Nebulae Discovered at the Lowe Observatory, California, for 1900," where it is number 43. Swift published this first list twice, in PASP 8, 304, 1896 and in AJ 17, 27, 1897, and Howe's note appears in MNRAS 60, 130, 1899. Howe also points out that the AN article has a "F * close nf", while in the PASP and AJ lists, the star is noted as "np". Howe found the star "np" (northwest), which is where we see it today.
