NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 4604. ESGC is the source of this identification. However, since I have not seen Peters's Copernicus articles, I cannot be sure that this is the correct object. Since the NGC position is just 10 arcmin out (another digit error), however, this identification is a good guess for the time being. Let the RC3 stand as is for now. ----- I was a bit chagrined to see that AH has a note, "Identified as a galaxy by H. Corwin ... who indicates the NGC declination is in error by 10 degrees." This of course, is wrong -- the NGC position is just 10 arcminutes out. There is no trace of this in either of Peters's Copernicus papers, so this may be a private communication to Dreyer. As Dreyer was co-editing Copernicus with Copeland, Peters was already in contact with him, so this is a reasonable assumption. It may not be right, but it is reasonable ... In any case, the NGC position quoted in the big table is indeed just 10 arcminutes too far north. I still favor a digit error in this case.

===== NGC 4604 17.5" (1/31/87): faint, fairly small, edge-on WNW-ESE. Third of four in the field and located 11' SSE of NGC 4602.
