Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
Javelle misidentified his comparison star. Rather than using BD+8 272, he actually used BD+8 268. Once this change is made, his micrometric position falls right in line with the modern positions. The galaxy is bright enough that it's a bit surprising that it was not found before the NGC was published.
