Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
Bigourdan's position lands directly on the brighter and northeastern of two stars about 4 arcmin southwest of NGC 1 and 2. The fainter star is probably too faint for Bigourdan to have consciously seen with his 30-cm refractor, but it may have added some to the impression of nebulosity around the brighter star. So, I've included it as a part of N7839.
Looking at it again in May 2016, I'm not so sure that the fainter star deserves a role as part of Bigourdan's object. So, I've made it a neighboring star instead. Apologies for any confusion this may cause.
