Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 4404 is a star. The number is often assigned to the faint galaxy just north of NGC 5547, and some have speculated that it might be identical to NGC 5547 itself. However, Bigourdan's precise measurements on one night, and an estimated position on another, point exactly to the star. In addition, he measured NGC 5547 on that same second night, so the two objects are clearly different.
