Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 1253 = NGC 6347. Safford's original position is very good, falling within 20 arcsec of the galaxy. Unfortunately, when Dreyer precessed the position, he made a +2 degree error in the declination. So, the IC position has nothing near it. This is one of the very few errors that Dreyer himself made in assembling his catalogues.
