Ladies and Gents. I was working on finder charts for the Eldorado Star Party starting next Monday, 11/5/2018. NGC 592 is one of the objects. Simbad lists the coordinates as
01 33 00.1 +30 34 37.
However, NED lists the location as
01h33m11.7s +30d38m42s
Which is a brighter more "knot-like" HII region. I also checked the historically corrected NGC list at the NGC/IC Project website Ver 1.11. It gives a location very similar to the one in NED,
01h 33m 12.2s +30º 38' 46"
Because of the more prominent character of the object at the location given by NED and the NGC/IC Project, I suspect the object they reference is the correct one.
