Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
NGC 6054 = IC 1183. Swift notes that the neighboring star is south preceding, not south following. This points at IC 1183 as the galaxy that received the number 6054 in the NGC. In support of this, IC 1183 is considerably brighter and has a higher surface brightness than the spiral that is usually taken as NGC 6054. Bigourdan did not see the spiral, either, so the identity is virtually certain.
