NGC 6172 = IC 1213. Stephan's position is 10 minutes of time too large due to a misprint in his paper in AN 2661. The position for his comparison star is correctly given, however, and identifies it as SAO 141069. Once the correction is made, it's clear that NGC 6172 is IC 1213. RC3 is correct for a change.― NGC Notes by Harold Corwin
