Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 1546 is the galaxy that MCG (and unfortunately others since) has called "N85B". There is no confusion in the historical literature about NGC 85 (which see), nor about IC 1546. But it's still worth noting here that the NGC 85 suffixes are in use, and that the eastern of the two galaxies is in fact IC 1546. I clearly recommend dropping the suffixes on the NGC numbers, and only retain them for clarity when dealing with the modern catalogues.
