Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 4532 is CGCG 136-006. Javelle misidentified his comparison star. It is actually the star at 15 02 29.2, +23 24 20 (1950). Once this change is made, his measured position falls within four arcsec of the nucleus of the galaxy. And his description (summarized by Dreyer) "vF, N, stellar" fits as well.
He made a similar error, but with a different comparison star, for IC 4534, which see.
