Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 4889 = IC 4891. Stewart found IC 4891 first on a one-hour plate from Arequipa -- but he made a 10 arcmin error in the declination. Frost found it again (with its bright companion, IC 4888) on another Arequipa plate, this one of 3h 45m exposure. He recorded the position correctly.
Since there is nothing at Stewart's position, and since his description ("cB, S, R, bM") fits what he would have seen on a "short-exposure" plate, and since his declination is just a digit error -- the identity is secure.
