Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
Javelle misidentified his comparison star. When the correct star is used, IC 2993 is easily identified as a faint, otherwise uncatalogued galaxy about 3 arcmin southwest of MCG+06-27-003. Unfortunately, CGCG pulled CGCG 187-005 (a double galaxy) out of the hat for the IC number; this is the wrong object. IC 3003 was also affected by Javelle's error; see it for more.
