Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 1927. JH has one observation that reads "All about this place (05 26 20,
-08 24.9; B1950.0), there exists diffused nebulosity." In fact, there is
none. Dreyer comments in a Note to the NGC, "Looked for three times at Birr
Castle; twice the sky was fancied to have a milky appearance." There is
certainly no nebulosity on the POSS1 plates, nor on the SERC EJ plate.
Also, JH originally made this an observation of his father's V 38: that
identity is shown in his 1833 catalogue. However, his position differed
enough from WH's that he made them separate objects for GC; Dreyer followed
suit for NGC. There, H V 38 = NGC 1909 (which see).
In short, NGC 1927 is "Not found."
