ver 4.0j R19 Pro

In the database, object Pismis 1 has only an OCL for a secondary name. It is also an NGC object, NGC 2568.

Here is a NED reference that shows it has the same coordinates as Pismis 1.

Please add NGC 2568 to Pismis 1.

Thanks,

Hello Steve,

I don't think that NED is a good source of definitive NGC designations, especially for galactic objects. I note that SIMBAD has nothing at all for NGC 2568, so I don't think this is a simple case. I'll make a note to look it up in the NGC/IC database. Unless someone would like to help me out and look it up for me. I try to stick with Corwin's results.

It looks like Corwin confirms the connection to Pismis 1.
