Observing Notes

Harold Corwin

MCG incorrectly assigned this number to MCG +03-37-007 = Ho 634a (Ho 634b is a star). Unfortunately, this bug has been picked up in a number of more recent sources.

The real IC 1004 is about 3-4 arcmin southwest, and is the brightest of a double or triple system. Its position is very close to Javelle's micrometric position, re-reduced with respect to the GSC position for his comparison star. This is another of Malcolm Thomson's catches.
