Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
Javelle's calculations are correct, and the data on page D42 of Volume XI of the Nice Annals are also correct in every detail. However, the declination on page D18 is out by exactly 20 degrees. While we can't prove that this is a typo without reference to Javelle's original papers, it seems likely that it is a simple replacement by the typesetter of a "6" by an "8" on page D18.
Once that change is made, the correct galaxy falls right into our tables.
