This came up when I was proof reading Wolfgang's forthcoming book on Herschel's observations. I think it is the most southerly object he found but given he was observing from 51N one wonders whether this was through the grass

Herschel had a few more southerly discoveries than NGC 2997. He made it down another 1.5 degrees further south to NGC 3621 in Hydra, which culminated at 7 degrees elevation. And he had no problem with it...Originally Posted by obrazell
