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 2379 has different identifications. Following the prescription of NGC/IC project NGC 2379 (a galaxy) is not the same object of NGC 2378 (a double star)! See also this discussion.
