Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 2199 is the last of the galaxies in a group south of Castor found by Barnard in 1888. Though Barnard's declination is 3.6 arcmin too far north, there is no other galaxy nearby that he could have seen. And his declinations for the other four galaxies are also south of the real positions (see IC 2193), so the identity is virtually certain.
See IC 2192, IC 2193, and IC 2197 for more about the group. The other two members, IC 2194 and IC 2196, were seen by both Javelle and Barnard.
