RE: (IAAC) NGC2313 a Dark Nebula??



There are so many "nonexistent" objects in the RNGC that if there were
some more, the whole RNGC would be "nonexistent"... ;-)

The thing is, as can be read in NGC 2000.0, notably, Sulentic and Tifft
had a deadline, and ran short of time to check for the existence of all
7,840 objects from the original NGC, plus they checked at the position
given in the original NGC, not looking for the objects at other
positions and not considering the (many) errata published since the
publication of the original NGC, many of which by Dreyer himself...

The RNGC, predictably, perhaps, classes this object as "nonexistent".
