Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 2460 = NGC 2827 (which see for more about the NGC 2832 group in Abell 779). Though claimed "not found" by Carlson, this galaxy is just 1.5 arcmin north of the IC place -- the BD declination of Javelle's comparison star (BD+34 1976) is a bit off. Re-reducing Javelle's observation puts the position within 10 arcsec of the nucleus.
The only puzzle is Javelle's note "... allongee suivant le mouvement diurne ...." This clearly makes the object flattened in declination, while the true position angle is close to zero. Did Javelle simply get confused, or did he make some other error and really observe another galaxy in the cluster?
