Bug Description
Not exactly a bug, it's a catalogue error.
IC 4274 is Gum 47 and NGC 5189.
According to DOCdb:
"IC 4274 = NGC 5189. Found by Wilhelmina Fleming on a Harvard objective prism plate, this was put into the second IC with the north polar distance of 115 degrees rather than the correct 155 degrees (the Harvard Annals, Volume 60, lists the declination as -65 degrees). Unfortunately, this simple typo has been carried over into NGC 2000.0 as a 40 degree error in the declination of I4274. N5189's position there is correct, however."
This is one of the best Southern Hemisphere's planetary nebulae.
I don't know what your approach to correcting catalogue errors is. Or who sources the catalogues you use.
