NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 7114 = Nova Cygni 1876 = Q Cyg. Dreyer included this in the NGC because -- as he mentions in the Notes -- "Mr. Lohse asserts that it is surrounded by nebulosity." There is no nebulosity around the star on the POSS1, but given the presence of expanding shells around other novae, it is possible that Lohse could have seen one around this nova, too. However, I would have expected that it would not completely disperse in the 75 years from the time of its outburst to the time the POSS plates were taken. Unless, of course, it was a light echo. We should check the date of Lohse's observation. Today, the star is at 16th magnitude. Within the errors of measurement, its position is unchanged from its discovery position.
