Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 4656 has a faint star superposed about 3 arcseconds southwest of the nucleus. It has not been picked up in any of the automated surveys that I've consulted, so the position is based on my own estimate using SkyView, corrected by the average offset from similar positions from the 2MASS PSC for the nucleus and another nearby superposed star. When automated positions come available (perhaps from Gaia or LSST) for the star, I'll adopt one of those.
