Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 547 = NGC 2947 = IC 2494. The RA of NGC 2947 is 2m 14s in error, but the NPD is good, and the descriptions (given the different telescopes used) match. Swift's position is fair, and Howe missed the identity with IC 547 (as did Dreyer), so the object received an entry in IC2 as well. It is, as far as I know now (May 2003), the only object to have an entry in all three of Dreyer's catalogues.
