NGC 7423  (22h 55.3m  +57° 08')
Discovered by WH (III 745) and observed by JH as h2191 although Dreyer
notes in Scientific Papers that their positions differ by about 1 tmin, so
the two entries may not refer to the same object. Dreyer used the position
of h2191 for the NGC. JH description reads: "A large patch of the milky
way, consisting of stars so small as to be quite nebulous.  If this be not
III 745, I find no other."

Listed as a T7 OC in RNGC.  Ling notes the equivalence with Be 57.  There
is no clustering on the GSC at this position, though.
