Observing Notes

Harold Corwin

IC 2092 is a line of three stars with a fourth just south of the western-most in the line. That, at least, is the only "object" near Roberts's position, measured on a plate of the NGC 1665 field. See IC 2091 for more about this plate, and the nebulae that Roberts found on it.

The description written by Roberts for this object reads, "Small spiral nebula with bright stellar nucleus; indication of star on south end." I wonder if there was a defect tangled up with the stars. There is, in any event, no galaxy or other nebula here.
