Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
NGC 6410 is one of the few double stars from Lewis Swift's list of "nebulae" that we can confidently say that he saw. Though he believed it to be an "eeF, S, R" nebula, his additional notes "nearly between two stars; GC 4320 [NGC 6411] near north-following" make it clear that he was indeed observing the double star. His position is not too bad, but is still far enough off (over two arcminutes) that -- without his additional notes on the field -- we could not otherwise identify his object.
