[Chaos-l] 989. No, the other 989...

[Jon Stewart-Taylor]

On a whim, i looked up the NGC object corresponding to our address.

NGC 989 is a 15th magnitude galaxy located at the bottom of Cetus, and  
is so unexciting that it's not even plotted on Sky Atlas 2000.  Kinda  
like our actual house, not very big, and located at the south end of  
nothing:

On the other hand, our former address (NGC 2412) appears to be a  
single star in Canis Minor, and not a very exciting one either.  It  
doesn't even rate a mention in the SEDS NGC webpage.

Does your address have an NGC object?  What is it?
