Observing Notes

Harold Corwin

Steve Gottlieb pointed out in an email in January 2018 that Javelle's comparison star is wrong -- rather than BD -14 6219 as Javelle lists, it is BD -14 6214 = HD 210032. While I picked up the correct galaxies [IC 1430 and IC 1431] when I went over the numbers two decades ago, I made no notes about the star or the fact that the IC positions are just a minute of time off. Steve suggests that this clean offset has misled us all this time to believe that Javelle made a simple digit error. In any event, Steve has found the correct cause of the position error.
