This entry confuses two separate LBN objects and Sh 2-268 and as a result gives an incorrect position for Sh 2-268.
BFS gives the (correct) galactic coordinates for Sh 2-268 as 196.38,-2.85 in the original paper [1982ApJS...49..183B]. Unfortunately these have been incorrectly entered into Vizier here:
http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-5?-ref=VIZ4fd1b71e2944&-out.add=.&-source=VII/50/cogal&recno=113
as 196.07, -3.43. So this just adds to the confusion.
