IC 722 and IC 724, Spitaler misidentified his comparison star, and gave it the coordinates of yet another misidentified star. The star he actually used is BD +09 2534. He claims he used BD +09 2531, and gave the coordinates of BD +09 2532.
His descriptions of his objects, however, leaves no doubt as to the correct identifications. He notes a "* 10 nf 2 arcmin" for I722, and "lE 45d" for I724. Both clearly identify his objects; they are both 8 seconds east and 5.5 arcmin south of his positions (which Dreyer copied correctly into the IC).― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
