Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 44 = NGC 223 is the brighter of two galaxies (N219 is the fainter). These were found by G.P. Bond at Harvard, and N223 was independently discovered by d'Arrest. The positions and descriptions are good.
Swift's later description is also appropriate, especially his reference to the two stars flanking the galaxy, each about 3 arcmin away in PA's 160 deg and 340 deg. The latter of these stars is also noted by Bond in his description of NGC 219.
