Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 452 = NGC 2296, and IC 453. Bigourdan has NGC 2296 = Big 148; this is wrong -- NGC 2296 = Big 147 = IC 452. His relative positions for the two objects and their neighboring stars are precise, and Big 148 = IC 453 is unambiguously a star. Bigourdan's position for IC 453 as published in Observations, Vol. I is correct, though the IC position (from the CR 107, 647, 1891 list) is 8' in error.
