Sure....
Checking IC 5372 in NED, the RA and Dec are listed at 00h00m16.2s
+32d47m33s. Look at the RA and Dec for 5371... 00h00m16.3s
+32d57m33s in Megastar. Looks like according to NED, Megastar's IC
5371 is really IC 5372. OK, what about IC 5372? NED lists IC 5372 at
00h00m14.8s +32d49m55s. Hmmmm.... Megastar has.... well.... MAC 0000
3250 at.... 00h00m14.9s. +32d49m65s. Hey... looks like the MAC galaxy
has an IC designation... it is IC 5372.
So, we did see all the members of the group, except two were
misidentified in Megastar.
In Megastar
MAC 0000 3250 is IC 5372
IC 5372 is IC 5371
Whatever, it was fun to see!
