Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 2817 is a star, confirmed on the print of the original plate (see IC 2630). However, it may have a relatively large proper motion in declination, so it seems to have moved about 10 arcsec south of Wolf's position by the early 2000s. This, at least, is the story from the positions in the table, and from the proper motion reported by USNO-B1.0 and SDSS. UCAC, however, shows an utterly negligible proper motion in declination. Is this one of its rare errors?
