Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 1773 = NGC 804. Swift's position for N804 is far enough off that it misled Bigourdan into measuring a faint star as NGC 804. On the same night, he saw the real NGC 804, but thought it a nova. So, it has ended up with an IC number as well.
Bigourdan's positions fall within a few arcsec of the GSC positions, and his notes about neighboring stars further pin down his objects. The identification is firm.
