Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 1686 = NGC 499. Dreyer has pretty well sorted out the NGC identifications in the NGC 507 cluster, so I'm a bit surprised that Javelle has a mistaken identification for NGC 499. There is no question that he measured NGC 499 -- his position falls within two arcsec of the modern position for the galaxy, and his description is perfect for the galaxy. Yet he has a footnote on his listing for I1686 that states that he "also measured NGC 499."
So, we can only shrug and say that he blundered on this one. See NGC 499 for a bit more on the earlier observations in the area.
