emamajek on 12-Sep-2010 18:03:21 GMT about NGC 1496
From examination of the Digitized Sky Survey, the central concentration of NGC 1496 is approximately 3' away from the current SIMBAD position (J2000 04:04.4+52:37). The position for NGC 1496 in the
Dias et al. open cluster catalog
(J2000 04:04:32 +52:39:42) appears to correspond well to the concentration of stars on the DSS, and to the brighter cluster members studied by Del Rio G. & Huestamendia (1988; see Figure 1 of their paper). I recommend updating the SIMBAD position for NGC 1496 to that listed in the Dias et al. open cluster catalog (J2000 04:04:32 +52:39:42).
