Observing Notes
Andrew Cooper
Nov 22, 2006 Las Cienegas NCA, Pima Co., AZ (map)
46cm f/4.5 Deep Violet
Very faint but distinct nebula laced through the moderately rich open cluster NGC1893, an irregular glow most noticeable in the cluster and just west of the cluster, UHC filter necessary
Harold Corwin
IC 410 is a nebulosity found by Max Wolf in which is embedded the cluster NGC 1893, found by John Herschel. While Wolf noted stars in his nebula, Herschel apparently did not see the nebula at all.
Therefore, the common practice of equating the two objects is incorrect. This was pointed out by Brent in "Star Clusters" and by Wolfgang in an email. I've fixed the position tables accordingly.
