NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 4844 is probably the star listed in the position list, fingered by both Wolfgang and myself. Tempel gives no position for it, merely saying "... on the parallel with the nebula [NGC 4838], another faint, small one follows..." If the NGC position -- presumeably one that he sent to Dreyer -- is good, then the listed star is the likely candidate. Another possibility is one that I noted in ESGC: the star superposed southeast of the nucleus of NGC 4838. I think now that this is less likely as Tempel probably would have mentioned the proximity to N4838. Other possible stars in the area that he could have seen are at 12 58 14.9, -13 05 21 and 12 58 10.6, -13 03 40 (J2000). There is a very faint galaxy near his position, too, but he could not have seen it with his 11-inch refractor.
