Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
While there is a faint star about 35 arcsec southeast of Bigourdan's position (from one micrometric measurement), there is nothing that matches his description. He also notes "This area could be rich in extremely faint nebulae which would need a larger instrument." There are no galaxies in the area that he could even glimpse in his 12-inch refractor, so IC 5344 must be the result of pushing his optics too hard.
