Yep, R Aqr is the only bright nebula in Map 23 in mine (1985 Deluxe edition). I have just looked it up - a fascinating bit of nebulosity, the spectrum of which varies with the magnitude of the variable. I must have a look when the moon goes.

None of which helps John much. Sounds like an error to me.
