History and Accurate Positions for the NGC/IC Objects (Corwin 2004)

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.

Published comments

Sulentic & Tifft (1973)

The RNGC (Sulentic and Tifft 1973) notes that this is a nonexistent object. Their coded description reads NF DC.

Helwan Obs. Bulletin No 21 (1920)

Not found. Exp. 80 min.
