[vsnet-chat 318] Re: on the discovery of T Boo



     In re the name assignments for T Boo, T Ser, and S Del:  it was common
for observers to assign the letter themselves upon publication until things
started getting confused in the 1890s.  A similar sort of thing happened
with asteroids at the same time.
