Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
NGC 6876A = IC 4945. During his "Reynolds Survey" of the southern Shapley-Ames galaxies, de Vaucouleurs found this object near the edge of one of his plates. His position (20 11.7, -71 00; J2000) is just far enough off the IC position (20 11.2, -71 00) that he did not find the IC number so thought the galaxy was previously uncatalogued. Thus, the suffixed NGC number appeared in his Stromlo 13 list.
