| NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (Q488563) | PGC 22191 | [2] | wrong identification! |
| Lyon-Meudon Extragalactic Database (Q6709611) | PGC 22191 (named also NGC 2473) | [3] | wrong identification! |
| SIMBAD (Q654724) | PGC 22220 but also NGC 2461 | [4] | right identification, but wrong assignation NGC 2461 |
- Prescriptions
- it would be prudent do not use NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (Q488563) and Lyon-Meudon Extragalactic Database (Q6709611) databases to recover data of this object;
- SIMBAD (Q654724) can be used for the data but be carefully to not assign the name NGC 2461 to this object;
- Lyon-Meudon Extragalactic Database (Q6709611) could be used for the data only if the name used in the query is PGC 22220, even if in this catalogue correspond to NGC 2461.
