Observing Notes

Harold Corwin

IC 4365 = NGC 5437. Bigourdan measured all three of Tempel's nebulae and thought he'd found a fourth. However, his "nova" is actually a star that he mislabeled "NGC 5436." He also mislabeled NGC 5436 itself as "N5437," and put the number "IC 4365" on NGC 5437 (this piece of his big table was published after IC2 had appeared). His measurements of the four objects are good; it's just his labels that are not.
