Incorrect orientation in the NGC (given as NW-SE instead of SW-NE) although Stephan has the correct orientation in his discovery list. According to Thomson, N1051 ? IC 249 (see Catalogue Corrections) based on Javelle's comment.

Situated 2.5' ENE of a mag 11.5 star. The NGC identification of this galaxy is very uncertain due to poor positions in the group by Marth and UGC, MCG and CGCG identify this galaxy as IC 1846. Discovered by Marth in a group of galaxies with several problem identifications (bad positions or faint stars?). RNGC and RC3 identify N1109 as U02293 = M+02- 08-011. This galaxy was later correctly placed by Javelle as IC 1852 and CGCG, UGC and MCG use the IC designation. Marth's position for N1109 is 39 tsec E and 2' N of U02293. Corwin suggests that N1109 may instead refer to IC 1846 = U02265 = M+02-08-006 = CGCG 440-008 (also from Javelle), which is located 2.0 tmin W of Marth's position but an exact match in RA.

Originally this object appeared virtually stellar as I probably just detected the core but after viewing for awhile the thin extensions were noticed. Located 5.6' NW of IC 1852. The NGC identification from Marth of this galaxy is very uncertain, although it was correctly placed by Javelle (IC 1850). The galaxy chosen by the RNGC is probably incorrect. Discovered by Marth in a group of galaxies which have several identification problems including N1109, N1112, N1113 and N1117. Corwin suggests that N1111 = IC 1850 (correct position from Javelle), located at 02 48 39.1 +13 15 34 (not in GSC). If this uncertain ID is correct, then Marth's RA is 1.0 tmin off (too far E), although the galaxy is a fairly good match in dec. The galaxy identified as N1111 in RNGC is located 7' S and 9' E of U02293 = N1112 (identification suggested by Corwin). Neither NED nor PGC has a listing for IC 1850.

IC 1850 = N1111: lies 5.6' NW and IC 1846 = N1109: is 19' W. The NGC identification is very uncertain due to a poor position from Marth. This galaxy is identified as IC 1852 in CGCG, UGC and MCG and identified as N1109 in RNGC and RC3. Discovered by Marth in a group including N1109, N1111, N1113, N1115, N1116 and N1117 and N1127. Several of these galaxies are nonexistent or have poor positions including N1109, N1111, N1112, N1113 and N1117 and this number is listed as nonexistent in RNGC.

Appears as a barely resolved double oriented N-S, ~30"x20" total size. The object at the south side appears to have a stellar nucleus. The northern object has a 20" halo and appears larger. The centers of this pair are only 24" apart. Marth placed N1117 at 02 50 43 +13 10 (2000). RNGC identifies N1117 as the double galaxy (U02337s = M+02-08-019/020 = Z440-022s). This galaxy is located at a mean GSC position of 02 51 13.0 +13 11 20 (2000) but is not identified as N1117 in CGCG or MCG. N1117 was discovered on the same night as N1109, N1111, N1112 and N1113 which all have very uncertain identifications (as well as N1115, N1116). In this case, the error would be 30s in RA.

N1199 lies 8' S. This galaxy is the farthest N galaxy in the N1199 cluster (HCG 22). Incorrectly listed as nonexistent in the RNGC. N1188 is the first of a group of five galaxies recorded by Leavenworth in list I including N1189, N1190, N1191 and N1192. Although Leavenworth only gave a single rough RA for these objects (corrected by 3 min of RA in a note in the second discovery list), Howe provided precise individual RA's which were listed in the notes and corrections section of the IC2. Howe's position for N1188 is 03 01 23 -15 41 46 (1950) and very close to these coordinates is M-03-08-068 with a GSC position of 03 01 23.0 -15 40 46 (1950). It is interesting to note that this places N1188 just 8' N of N1199 which is the brightest member of the compact group Hickson 22 including Leavenworth's N1189- 92. The RNGC incorrectly lists N1188 as nonexistent and Sulentic identifies it as equivalent to N1199. M-03-08-067 is not identified as N1188 in the MCG and is not listed in DSFG.
