NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 1884. During my early work on the LMC Atlas, I identified this with NGC 1882. But that is highly unlikely as JH found both objects during the same sweep (761 on 3 Jan 1837). There is nothing obvious at JH's position matching his description ("eF, 2 [arcmin] diam."), and I entered it simply as "Not found" going through the NGC a few years ago. However, revisiting the field in November 2013, I see an asterism of 3 or 4 stars just southwest of JH's place. Perhaps these are what he saw. I've included them in the table with a query. Jenni Kay's entry in her "Visual Atlas of the Magellanic Clouds" reads simply, "Not found." She notes as I did, however, in her "Identification Corrections" section, that the object cannot be identical to NGC 1882 since JH saw both objects in the same sweep. ----- This is number 29 in the sweep where the reduced position and the description are the same as those published in JH's CGH Observations. The nearest star in the sweep is the relatively faint UCAC4 118-006457. Re-reducing the object's position using this star confirms JH's reduction. Checking for possible wire errors turned up no additional candidates, so the discussion above still stands. And this object is still a bit of a mystery.
