Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 1539 = NGC 70. Bigourdan apparently did not take the time to look at Lord Rosse's published sketch of the field around NGC 68. If he had, he would have seen that Lord Rosse put an object just where he (Bigourdan) saw it half a century later, situated between two slightly brighter stars, a bit closer to the southern star. The object that Bigourdan called NGC 70 is a star.
In fairness to Bigourdan, the NGC positions in the group are not too good (see NGC 67 for more), so he is not the only one to have misidentified galaxies here.
