Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 1593 = NGC 1608 = IC 2077. Neither of the NGC observers did very well by
this galaxy. Marth has the RA 1 minute too small, and LdR has it 30 seconds
too large along with a declination that is 8.5 arcmin off. In addition, LdR
notes the nearby star as "south" of the galaxy rather than north (an error
that Dreyer caught before he prepared the NGC). Javelle, however, has one
observation that is within 10 arcsec of the galaxy -- he got it right.
Reinmuth first suggested the identity of NGC 1608 with IC 2077, but I think
that the identity with NGC 1593 had to wait until I ran across it doing ESGC.
