Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
NGC 6550 = NGC 6549 is not NGC 6548 as we have long supposed. Thanks to
Malcolm Thomson and Steve Gottlieb for first directing my attention to this
puzzling triplet of numbers, and to Christopher Watson for questioning the
inconsistency in my earlier "untangling" of the problem. See NGC 6548 for the
full story.
