IC 1316 does not exist. Bigourdan has two observations differing by 2.3 seconds of time and 6 arcsec; the first position is the one given in the IC. Neither position, however, refers to any object on POSS1, not even stars. There is no possibility that this is the same as NGC 6901 or IC 5000, since Bigourdan observed these other objects on the same nights as IC 1316. My statement in RC2 that this is = N6901 and I5000 (which see) is therefore wrong.
