IC 2282 is a galaxy (huzzah! At last!). It is closely followed, and a bit to the south by a faint star (= IC 2283, which see), then a much brighter star which was Javelle's comparison star. Reducing his position makes it clear that he did in fact see IC 2282, and not IC 2283 as Dreyer supposed. So, his number (J. 1033) and his comment "* 9 f 4.6 sec, 35 arcsec s", have to be moved to IC 2282.― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
