Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 4551 = NGC 5964. Swift gives the RA only to a whole minute of time and puts a question mark after it. It turns out to be "only" 3.5 minutes of time off, and his declination is just 2.6 arcmin too far north. However, the clincher is Swift's description: "eeeF, L, R, eee dif". NGC 5964 fits that perfectly. Lacking any other reasonable candidate within several degrees, I'm going to accept Reinmuth's suggestion and make the two numbers equal.
