| Notes:* |
I am listing the 'M 102' prefix first ... but this object should probably be called NGC 5866! The 'real' M 102 designation is possibly a re-observation of M 101. Refer to data for M 101 and M 102 at The NGC/IC Project, and look at the "Historical Research Notes / Corrections" and/or: Refer to the SED's site for the case for it being NGC 5866 |
