Astronomische Nachrichten 1392 compares positions of forty nebulae by G. F. J. A. von Auwers, H. L. d'Arrest, and P. E. Laugier. Calculations for JH's [Catalogue of] Nebulae are complete and ready for inspection.
Not surprised that actual costs [of publishing JH's catalogue of nebulae] departed from estimates. Reports vote by [R.S.L.] committee. Does not believe publication will be expensive.
Returned JH's 'original sheets of nebulae.' Kept sheets of calculations. Will write about money accounts later. Lord Palmerston's communication about Thomas Maclear's pension.
Received £10 for cost of reducing JH's 'Catalogue of Nebulae.' Send description of catalogue.
Accounts for money spent in reducing JH's catalogue of nebulae. Encloses sample page from catalogue and Astronomische Nachrichten No. 1392 [see JH's 1862-11-18].
More corrections of errors [in reduction of JH's catalogue of nebulae].
More corrections of errors [in reduction of JH's catalogue of nebulae].
After collecting and reducing all nebula observations by JH and William Herschel, JH objects to GA's suggestion that JH should pay for calculations needed to prepare catalogue of nebulae. Hesitates to request additional funds from R.S.L.
Sends £10 to GA, exhausting grant from R.S.L. GA's estimate of 5600 nebulae was too high. Recommends asking R.S.L. for additional £50.
Comments on several nebulae, and on GA's receiving an honorary degree [from Cambridge University].
Accepts an invitation to dine with GA, and adds comments about problems JH is having with his vision.
Has sent an R.S.L. membership application certificate for GA to sign and send on.
Is preparing a list of nebulae and their positions; does GA think anyone would print them?
Suggests preparing an estimate of the cost of preparing and printing a nebula catalogue so JH can approach the R.S.L. [see GA's 1862-1-24].
Ready to send nebula data to GA for reduction; question of dates need decisions [see GA's 1862-1-30].
Is sending first part of observational data for nebula catalogue [see GA's 1862-3-31].
Forgot, in earlier note [see JH's 1862-4-2], to indicate agreement with GA's suggestions [see GA's 1862-3-31].
Responds carefully to the question of observational, and reduction, dates [see GA's 1862-4-12].
Has now sent the last of the nebula observations to be reduced for printing [see GA's 1862-4-16].
Approves of form for reduced observations [see GA's 1862-4-24] and sends GA payment against expenses.
