Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 2227 = CGCG 178-028. There is nothing at all at Javelle's nominal position (08 04 06.4, +36 10 28; 1950.0; re-reduced using the SAO position for his nominal reference star). However, Malcolm Thomson found that if we suppose that Javelle's comparison star was actually BD +36 1746, then CGCG 178-028 is exactly at his offsets from that star. This is convincing evidence that Javelle simply misidentified his comparison star.
