Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 3834 is not, as so often supposed, NGC 4740 (which see; it is actually a reobservation by Swift of NGC 4727, the brightest galaxy in the group of four here). Nor is it NGC 4726 (which also see), as first suggested by Howe and taken up by Dreyer in a couple of IC2 notes. Bigourdan wisely threw out all the NGC numbers for his observation of this galaxy (or he was utterly confused and simply ignored them) and declared it a "nova", even though Howe had obviously seen, too.
