Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 5300 itself has no particular identification problems -- it is the brightest of a double system. However, the DSS1 has a defect 10 or 15 arcsec to the east that, at first glance, looks like a multiple interacting system. It had an entry in the position table for a time; my apologies.
(For the record, the "position" I measured for the defect is 23 16 36.5, +20 49 49 for J2000.0).
