Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 430, discovered photographically by Williamina Fleming on two of four plates covering the region of the Orion Nebula and reported by Pickering in Harvard Annals 18, No. 6, 1890, is just where Fleming puts it. She describes it as a "Nebulous band 3' wide extending 10' north preceding from BD-07 1142. Probably connected with No. 12 through No. 15." These are NGC 1976, IC 426, and IC 427; "13" is a defect.
Also see IC 429 and IC 434.
