NGC 942
Discovered (1886) by Frank Muller (I-53)
The first Index Catalog lists a corrected position (per Burnham) of RA 02 22 23.5, NPD 101 28.1, and adds "double nebula, faint nuclei", with brackets indicating that the double nebula is NGC 942 and 943.

NGC 943
Discovered (1886) by Frank Muller (I-54)
The first Index Catalog lists a corrected position (per Burnham) of RA 02 22 22.7, NPD 101 27.6, and adds "double nebula, faint nuclei", with brackets indicating that the double nebula is NGC 942 and 943.

NGC 944 (= IC 228 = PGC 9300)
Discovered (Jan 1, 1886) by Francis Leavenworth (I-62) (and later recorded as NGC 944)
Discovered (Dec 7, 1891) by Stephane Javelle (and later recorded as IC 228)
The second Index Catalog lists a corrected RA (per Howe) of 02 20 00. Per Corwin, Leavenworth's position was nearly half a degree to the east of the correct value (a common problem with early measurements with the Leander McCormick telescope), but his diagram and notes make it clear that it was the same object which Javelle more accurately measured. |
