| | NGC 1850 |
| | A distance modulus of 18.51 is derived for the LMC, with a theoretical error of ±0.03 magnitudes, or a combined theoretical and observational error of ±0.12 magnitudes. | | | Periods are listed with a number of significant digits such that the uncertainty is in the last digit. | | | It is therefore possible that this object is in fact an unresolved combination of an RR Lyrae and a non-variable star of similar magnitude. |

| | Project Mission Explanation |
| | Attempts have been made to reobserve all the NGC objects, and to remove the errors in the catalogue. | | | The IC objects are generally smaller and fainter, so have generally received less attention, but some work has been done on them, too. | | | So, we think that publishing our results electronically as we collect them will get them out to our audience much sooner than waiting until we can publish a complete printed catalogue and atlas. |
