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 5174 has different identifications. Following the prescription of NGC/IC project NGC 5174 and NGC 5162 are the same object, but not NGC 5175. For other informations see also these two discussions.

Source UGC PGC Other NGC Link Notes
NGC/IC project in VizieR (Q1662358) UGC 8475 PGC 47346 NGC 5162 [1] right identification
NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (Q488563) UGC 8475 PGC 47346 NGC 5162 [2] right identification
Lyon-Meudon Extragalactic Database (Q6709611) UGC 8475 PGC 47346 NGC 5175 [3] right identification, but wrong assignment to NGC 5175!
SIMBAD (Q654724) UGC 8475 PGC 47346 NGC 5162, NGC 5175 [4] right identification, but wrong assignment to NGC 5175!


It would be prudent do not use SIMBAD (Q654724) and Lyon-Meudon Extragalactic Database (Q6709611) databases to recover catalogue names of this object!
