[vsnet-newvar 552] HadV65 may be CSS 1064 after all...

[no name <crawl@zoom.co.uk>]

After a nagging suspiscion, I have double checked the B1900 positions of
these objects

HadV65 = GSC 5696 0165 is at 18h 34m 48s -10d 12' 57" B1900

whilst

CSS 1064 [NSV 11168] is at 18h 34.4m -10d 13' B1900

the latter as given for object 53 of table 4 in Blanco and Nassau, ApJ
125, 408 [1957].
So those authors may in fact have mistakenly identified this object with
BD -10 4748.

Further, the NSV 11168 position then agrees exactly with the above CSS
originally quoted position.

So, just taking the original [objective prism measured] position of
Blanco and Nassau as being out by 0.4 minutes of RA [&/or incorrectly
transcribed : repeating two digits is a common transcription error, such
that 34.8 could have easily been copied to 34.4]

gives HadV65 = CCS 1064 = NSV 11168.

[I think!!!].
