   Returning to the original reference (Luyten, NSV11337 = AN 934.1936,
thanks to Yamaoka-san to find this identification), the situation has become
even more complex.  The literature gives the following coordinates.

  18h 39.5m  -24o 15' (1875.0)
  18  41.1   -24  14  (1900.0)

   The 1875.0 position looks more original, probably based on Cordova
Durchmusterung.  However, the precession from 1875.0 to 1900.0 makes
a diffference from the quoted value.  The 1875.0 position is more distant
from the HadV81 position.
