Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
NGC 3913 = IC 740. William Herschel's RA is just far enough off (14 seconds of time) that neither Swift nor Dreyer recognized Swift's 33rd object in his 9th list as being a reobservation of William Herschel's object. Swift's position is just 6 seconds off in RA, so being as far north as it is, the galaxy is unambiguously identified.
See NGC 3594 for more on the source of William Herschel's RA error.
