Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
There is a one degree error in the north polar distance of Javelle's comparison star in his table. His measured position and description fit UGC 6925 very well, so the identity is sure.
This one degree error also applies to IC 2981, found on the same night and referred to the same star. See that for more.
