Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 2964 does not exist. Bigourdan found it and another "nova" while searching for NGC 3908 (which see for its own story). He decided that his second new object was nothing more than a star, and it is included in the description for I2964 that he published in Comptes Rendus. This made it into the IC as well.
In fact, Bigourdan's estimated position for the second object clearly points at a star. But there is nothing at all in his position for the IC object.
