Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 1122 is not NGC 5931 as is sometimes stated, nor was it seen by Barnard whose position and comment (about a star preceding the galaxy) are adopted by Dreyer for the first IC. Barnard's data apply to NGC 5931.
The IC object is a separate galaxy found by Bigourdan about 3 arcmin northwest of NGC 5931. His position, though about 15 arcsec off, is good enough to unambiguously identify the galaxy. See NGC 5931 for more details.
