Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
Javelle misidentified his comparison star, so the IC position is wrong. When the correct star, BD+08 451, is used, his re-reduced position falls within two arcsec of the modern positions.
The star he claimed to have used was BD+08 452. That is the star he used for IC 1867, for which his position is also within two arcsec of the modern positions.
