NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 810. Stephan's position, given in both MNRAS and AN, is correct, but the NGC position is 10 seconds west. This is one of the few transcription errors that Dreyer made in his catalogues. The galaxy itself appears to be triple on the blue DSS images: a close dumbbell is oriented southwest-northeast, and a much fainter companion (or jet?) is just east of the southwestern component. Stephan noted only one object here, and the dumbbell is just barely noticeable on POSS1. On the scans of the POSS2 plates, it looks more like a "polar dust ring" galaxy than two interacting galaxies. It is clearly a single galaxy in the 2MASS images -- only a single bright nucleus remains visible. The companion galaxy is also well-seen in the 2MASS images, so this is a double interacting system.

===== NGC 810 17.5" (12/18/89): faint, small, round, bright core. Located on a line to the SW of mag 7.8 SAO 92789 7' NE and mag 7.2 SAO 92795 19' NE. Appears brighter than CGCG mag 15.4z.
