Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 960 is the northern galaxy of an interacting pair. Javelle's position, re-reduced with the UCAC4 position and proper motion for his comparison star, is within 2 arcsec of the nucleus of the galaxy. His description, "Faint, diffuse, pretty extended with a bit of condensation" is appropriate, too.
