NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 6967. The eastern-most galaxy in the NGC 6962 group has been correctly identified by most catalogues except MCG and UGC which called it "NGC 6965." This error, combined with the correct identification in CGCG, led RC3 to include two entries for the galaxy, both, fortunately, under the correct number. See the RC3 errata paper for the correct data, which I summarize in the main table here.

===== NGC 6967 18" (8/1/05): faint, fairly small, elongated 5:2 WNW-ESE, 0.7'x0.3'. Contains a very small brighter nucleus. A mag 10 star is close following and the galaxy is elongated nearly in the direction of the star. 17.5" (7/16/88): fairly faint to moderately bright, fairly small, very elongated ~E-W. A mag 9.5 star is just 44" E of center. Third brightest in the NGC 6962 group. Forms the NE vertex of an equilateral triangle with NGC 6962 6.6' SW and NGC 6959 6.7' WNW. Misidentified as NGC 6965 in the UGC, CGCG, MCG. 17.5" (8/31/86): fairly faint, small, elongated ~E-W, brighter core. A bright star follows closely that detracts from viewing. 13.1" (8/23/84): fairly faint though the mag 10 star interferes with viewing, small E-W streak, lens-shaped. 13.1" (7/27/84): faint, small, very elongated E-W. A mag 10 star is off the SE edge.
