Correct identification of this object edit
The correct identification of some NGC objects is difficult due to errors and misunderstandings of the original observer and of the astronomers that, during time, made and re-analysed the data.
Use the information of different sources, NGC 2378 has different identifications. Following the prescription of NGC/IC project the correct identification of NGC 2378 is a double star and not the galaxy NGC 2379!
