N6059 16 07.4 -06 25 Discovered by Swift (III). Bigourdan made a small correction in Swift's RA mentioned in the IC 1 notes (16 07 24 -06 24.7). There are two mag 15 GSC stars at 40" separation 2' due N of the corrected RA. The preceding star is a 10" double. There is also an extremely faint elongated gx at 16 07 16 -06 25.4, just S of a mag 13.8 GSC star (could this gx have been seen by Bigourdan?). Listed as a dubious NGC object by Hagen in Zone Catalogue. |
