Observing Notes

Harold Corwin

NGC 1176, NGC 1178, and NGC 1183 are all stars in the vicinity of NGC 1175. Bigourdan's published north polar distances are all 1 deg too large, but he has correctly identified his comparison stars. Re-reducing his positions puts them directly on top of faint stars in the field.

Another object found at the same time (NGC 1173, which see) is apparently lost, or is the victim of a misidentified comparison star. Also, Bigourdan had trouble seeing NGC 1175's one real companion galaxy, NGC 1177 = IC 281. Even though his measurements of NGC 1175 itself are good, this was obviously not a well-seen field for him.
