NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 5901 is a star about an arcminute north of NGC 5900. LdR found both objects on 23 May 1854 after an unsuccessful search the night before for N5900 (= h1915). He claims to have "Found 2 neb close ns. I believe the s one, which is vF, vlEns, lbM to be h's. The neb n of it is not vS, but eF." There is nothing "close" north of N5900 but a star. Further on to the northwest is a low surface brightness object that even LdR could not have seen -- because it has turned out to be a defect on the POSS1 103aE plate. I had it listed as a "comp"anion to NGC 5901 for some time. My apologies.
