NGC 2000.0 Corrections

Some minor corrections to the original NGC 2000.0 have been included in our online database:

NGC 2287 = M41 position was corrected from RA 6:47.0 to 6:46.0; thanks to M. Ferrio for reporting this error (probably by Dreyer)
NGC 2818, a planetary nebula in an open cluster (NGC 2818A), was erroneously described as a globular cluster in NGC 2000.0 - probably a reading error during the compilation process of the NGC 2000.0, caused by the similarity of the symbols. Thanks to Louis Marchesi for pointing us to this error! We now follow the various descriptions and have the planetary nebula as NGC 2818 = GC 1801 = h 3154A = Dun 564A (= PK 261+08.1, He2-23, ESO 372-13), and the open cluster as NGC 2818A = GC 1801A = h 3154 = Dun 564.
NGC 6811, open cluster in Cygnus, is actually at a slightly different position and larger than in the NGC 2000.0; position shifted from RA 19:38.2, Dec +46:34 to RA 19:37.3, Dec +46:23, size increased from 13' to 15'. Thanks to Wolfgang Renz for this update!
IC 1257 has been identified as Globular Cluster (Harris et.al. 1997). Thanks to Barbara Wilson for communicating this to us!
IC 3601 has some dubious fame for being classified as "Photographic Plate Defect" in NGC 2000.0, based on a finding by Dorothy Calson (1940), who classifies this object as not found, and "a defect on the plate where it was originally found by Frost, Harvard Annals 88" (Frost 985). However, as found by Malcolm J. Thomson (2005), there is a galaxy in Frost's position (later cataloged e.g. as PGC 165275, VPC 1124, and [DCY96] 345), which is now considered as IC 3601.
