NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 1147 is lost. There is no object within five degrees of the nominal position that matches Muller's description (m = 15.0, Dxd = 0.4x0.2, extended 180 deg; star 9.5 mag following 25 sec, north 1 arcmin). I had the thought during preparation of ESGC that it might be identical with NGC 1157, a few degrees south, but the fairly bright star in the right direction from that galaxy is over 30 seconds following and over three arcminutes to the north. So, NGC 1157 remains a faint possibility, but not enough to put it into the position table. I also checked at reasonable digit errors (+-1 hour, +-10 degrees) and a few other intermediate places for galaxies matching Muller's description of NGC 1147, all with no luck.
