Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 2053 is within Stewart's usual error of his place. ESO's claim that it is not found rests on a 10 arcmin typo in the nominal position in the ESO list. Wolfgang found the object.
There still may be some question about it, however. Stewart claims that it is "cE 140 deg". The galaxy is nearly round on the SERC plate, so I wonder if there is a plate defect somehow involved with the IC object. When the original plate can be dug out, we'll find out.
