Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 2466 is just as Dreyer boiled down Javelle's description of it: "vF, vS, dif, * 13.5 att". We could argue about the "diffuse", but with the star very close to the south, the galaxy probably would look diffuse.
In any event, the nature of the galaxy is not clear on the POSS1, but comes through in the POSS2 and 2MASS images. Neither object is double as I thought they might be from POSS1 and DSS.
