Correct identification of this object
editThe 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 2518 has different identifications. Following the prescription of NGC/IC project the object named NGC 2518 is the galaxy PGC 22800, but not also the name NGC 2519!
