Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
NGC 2786 may be UGC 4861. There is nothing closer to Marth's position that
could be his object, though IC 530 is about 25 arcmin to the southwest of the
nominal position. UGC 4861, however, is closer at about 19 arcmin, is also
somewhat brighter, and more nearly fits Marth's meager description, "vF, vS,
mbM". IC 530 is a pretty flat galaxy which Marth probably would have noted as
considerably extended, but we cannot completely rule it out as his object.
Neither object really thrills me, but I'm going with UGC 4861 for the time
being -- with a question mark, of course. (My thanks to Steve Gottlieb for
prodding me to write a note about this.)
