Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 2477 is probably identical to IC 2480. Javelle's nominal RA, from one observation on 1 May 1896, is 18 seconds less than that of the galaxy. His declination and description are just right and match those of IC 2480. Javelle has obviously made some error in his measurement or reduction of his RA.
At least that's the hypothesis. There is no other candidate in the area, and I've marked the identity with a colon. That for IC 2480 is certain as Javelle has observations on two different nights, 14 Apr 1896 and 10 Jan 1900. The observation for I2477 comes from a third night, so this adds to the probability of the identity.
