NGC 2330 (= IC 457)
Discovered (Jan 2, 1851) by Bindon Stoney (and later listed as NGC 2330)
Discovered (Jan 2, 1851) by Bindon Stoney (and later listed as IC 457)
The first IC states "Not seen by Kobold (with the 18-inch refractor at Strassburg), who observed eleven nebulae about this place" (suggesting that he ought to have seen it if it exists, and its recorded position is more or less accurate).(This comment applies to both 2330 and 2334)
(The double listing for two observations on the same night seems strange; need to research history)
