Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
Steve Gottlieb points out that Javelle's offsets from his comparison star carry the wrong signs. Re-reducing his position using modern data for his comparison star, BD -1d 2336, leads to a position just a few arcseconds west of the nucleus of UGC 5411. There is no doubt about this identification as there is nothing at the position implied by Javelle's published offsets.
