C 0348+618 = Cl Czernik 17 (2 SIMBAD entries for the same object). The current SIMBAD position for the Czernik 17 does not correspond well to the center of the cluster. The
Dias et al. open cluster catalog
position for Czernik 17 (J2000 03:52:24 +61:57:00; diameter = 3.6') is 3.0' away, but appears to correspond to a stellar concentration in the Digitized Sky Survey. The center is not well defined, but from my examination of the DSS, I would approximate the center of Czernik 17 to be (J2000) 03:52:20+61:58:00 (+-1').
The Dias et al. published cluster position should be adequate, so I recommend SIMBAD updating their position for Czernik 17 to the Dias et al. catalog position (J2000 03:52:24 +61:57:00).
