You're quite right! I've been calling it the cigar for years, but when I checked Hartungs, there's certainly no record of it having that common name. At least we can agree it's NGC 55

You know it's bad when you have to set the scope up upside down so that the coma corrector doesn't have light falling directly on it :-(
