41 Alksnis' position is wrong. 42 Alksnis' position is wrong. 113 Alksnis' position is 91" off. 145 Alksnis' position is wrong. 180 Stephenson's and Alksnis' declinations are nearly 2' too low. 209 Alksnis' position is 1' too far South. 311 This number appears twice in Alksnis' list : the first time with the 311 correct position and correct cross-identification, the second time with an 311 erroneous position. 335 CGCS 335 is not NikC 2-18. 354 Alksnis' position is wrong by 53". 373 Alksnis' position is wrong. 381 Nikolashvili's (1987Afz....27..197N) 1900 position is wrong by about 1 381 degree, compared to his galactic position and identification chart. This 381 error has been copied out by Stephenson and Alksnis. As a result, CGCS 381 381 = CGCS 380. 415 Alksnis' position is 74" off. 458 Alksnis' position is wrong. As a result CGCS 458 = CGCS 6045. 538 Alksnis' position is wrong. 544 Stephenson (1989PW&SO...3...53S, Cat. III/156) wrote out Kurtanidze's 544 (1988Afz....29..470K) position with a 40 minute error in declination, 544 repeated by Alksnis. As a result, CGCS 544 = CGCS 545. 572 Alksnis' position is wrong. 609 Alksnis' position is wrong. 629 Alksnis' position is wrong. 637 CGCS 637 is not [K80b] 13. 644 CGCS 644 is not Lee 114. 680 CGCS 680 is not NikC 3-77. 745 CGCS 745 is not Case 556 but Case 566. 797 CGCS 797 is not V364 Aur but V346 Aur. 831 Lee's (1940AnDea...4p...1L, Cat. II/68) and Stephenson's position is 831 approximate, as a result, Alksnis' position, which is the same with an 831 apparent and additional accuracy, is wrong by 102". 904 CGCS 904 is not V438 Aur but V348 Aur. 910 Alksnis' position is wrong. 989 There is a positional error in the original list by Blanco 989 (1958ApJ...127..191B), used again by the next authors. Therefore CGCS 989 = 989 CGCS 996, which has the right position. 1004 Alksnis' position is 1' too far North. 1017 Alksnis' position is wrong. 1090 CGCS 1090 is not Case 369 but Case 359. 1115 There is a positional error in the original list by Stephenson, used again 1115 by Alksnis. 1142 There is a 2 degree error in Stephenson's (1989PW&SO...3...53S, Cat. 1142 III/156) declination, repeated by Alksnis (2001BaltA..10....1A). 1226 Alksnis' position is wrong, it designates another HD star, which is 1' off. 1235 CGCS 1235 is not BD-00 1257. 1267 Alksnis' position is wrong by about 300 arcseconds toward East. 1322 Alksnis' position is given in B1950 instead of J2000. As a result, CGCS 1322 1322 = CGCS 6166. 1307 Alksnis' position is wrong. 1414 There is a 1 minute error in Stephenson's declination, used again by 1414 Alksnis. MacConnell's (1988AJ.....96..354M) position is correct. 1511 Alksnis' position is wrong. 1527 There is a misprint in Stephenson's right ascension (1989PW&SO...3...53S, 1527 Cat. III/156) - which is copied out by Alksnis - compared to Stephenson's 1527 position (1973, Cat. III/36). This last position is already different from 1527 the original Stock and Wroblewski's (1972POAN....2...59S) position. 1527 Nevertheless none of these three positions corresponds to a carbon star. 1545 CGCS 1545 is not DJM 10 but DJM 108. 1610 Alksnis' position is wrong. 1615 Nassau and Blanco's (1954ApJ...120..129N), Stephenson's and Alksnis' 1615 position is wrong, it corresponds to a blue star. The Carbon star is about 1615 3' further South East. 1616 Alksnis' position designates another star, 1' too far South. 1624 Alksnis' position is wrong (J. Bergeat, pers. comm.). 1679 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W) right ascension is 1 minute too high. 1679 This error has been used again by Stephenson and Alksnis. As a result CGCS 1679 1679 = CGCS 1670, which has the correct position (MacConnell, unpublished). 1711 Alksnis' position is 64" off. 1734 CGCS 1734 is not BC 40. 1738 Alksnis' position is wrong. 1764 There is a 1 degree error in Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W) 1764 declination, used again by Stephenson and Alksnis. Therefore CGCS 1764 = 1764 CGCS 1763, which gives the correct position. 1780 There is a 1 degree error in Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W) 1780 declination, used again by Stephenson and Alksnis. Therefore CGCS 1780 = 1780 CGCS 1781, which gives the correct position. 1781 CGCS 1781 is not C* 801. 1787 Alksnis' position is wrong, it designates HIP 37022, which is not the 1787 carbon star HIC 37022, 50" away. 1796 There is a 2 degree error in Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W) 1796 declination, used again by Stephenson and Alksnis. Therefore CGCS 1796 = 1796 CGCS 1795, which gives the correct position. 1847 Alksnis' position is 1,2' off. 1950 It is not CD-43 3714. 1951 There is a 30 second error in Alksnis' right ascension. 1995 It is not CD-33 4395. 2004 There is a 1 minute error in Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W) right 2004 ascension, used again by Stephenson and Alksnis. Therefore CGCS 2004 = CGCS 2004 2010, which gives the correct position (MacConnell, unpublished). 2005 There is a 1 minute error in Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W) right 2005 ascension, used again by Stephenson and Alksnis. Therefore CGCS 2005 = CGCS 2005 2012, which gives the correct position (MacConnell, unpublished). 2025 CGCS 2025 is not BM IV 53, nor Wray 18-40. 2028 Lee's (1940AnDea...4p...1L, Cat. II/68) and Stephenson's position is 2028 approximate, as a result, Alksnis' position, which is the same with an 2028 apparent and additional accuracy, is wrong by 99". 2033 CGCS 2033 is not IRC -30114 ? 2066 Alksnis' position is 74" off. 2122 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W) declination is 55" too far north, so 2122 Stephenson's and Alksnis's position is wrong. As a result CGCS 2122 = CGCS 2122 6279 (MacConnell, unpublished). 2172 There is an error in Aaronson et al. (1989ApJS...70..637A) position, used 2172 again by Stephenson (1989PW&SO...3...53S, Cat. III/156) and Alksnis. The 2172 original position given by Westerlund (1971A&AS....4...51W) is correct but 2172 not very accurate. CGCS 2172 = USNO-B1.0 0534-0151693 (MacConnell, 2172 unpublished). 2246 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W) right ascension is 50 seconds too small 2246 (MacConnell, unpublished). This error has been used again by Stephenson and 2246 Alksnis. 2261 There is a 10 minute transcription error in Stephenson's declination, used 2261 again by Alksnis. Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W) position is correct 2261 (MacConnell, unpublished). 2259 CGCS 2259 is not [W71b] 29-7. 2276 There is a misprint in second Stephenson's catalogue (1989PW&SO...3...53S, 2276 Cat. III/156), used again by Alksnis, leading to a declination 4 degrees 2276 too low. 2290 There is a 9 degree transcription error in Stephenson's declination, used 2290 again by Alksnis. Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W) position is correct. 2290 As a result, CGCS 2290 = CGCS 6301 (MacConnell, unpublished). 2294 The original Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W) B1950 position 8 37 7 -49 2294 25.9 has been transformed into 08 37 42 -49 25.9 by Stephenson, which 2294 represents an error by more than 5'. This error has been used again by 2294 Alksnis. 2312 CGCS 2312 is not [W71b] 34-12. 2317 Alksnis' position is 63" off. 2321 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W) right ascension is 1 minute too high 2321 (MacConnell, unpublished). This error has been used again by Stephenson and 2321 Alksnis. 2325 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W) right ascension is 1 minute too high 2325 (MacConnell, unpublished). This error has been used again by Stephenson and 2325 Alksnis. 2330 There is a transcription error in Stephenson's position : the right 2330 ascension is in equinox 1900 but the declination is in 1950, which leads to 2330 a 10' error (MacConnell, unpublished). This error has been used again by 2330 Alksnis. 2338 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W) right ascension is 13 seconds or 2' too 2338 low. This error has been copied out by Stephenson and Alksnis. 2356 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W), Stephenson's and Alksnis' position is 5 2356 degrees too far North. 2370 CGCS 2370 is not IRC -10236. 2405 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W), Stephenson's and Alksnis' position is 2405 wrong by 1,3'. The correct position is given by USNO-B1.0 0365-00123957 2405 (MacConnell, unpublished). 2418 Alksnis' position is wrong by 80 arcseconds. 2460 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W), Stephenson's and Alksnis' position is 2460 1,4' off. 2500 There is a 1 degree transcription error in Stephenson's declination 2500 (MacConnell, unpublished), used again by Alksnis. 2506 There is 20 second error in original Stephenson's right ascension, used 2506 again by Alksnis. 2513 There is misprint in second Stephenson's catalogue, used again by Alksnis, 2513 leading to a declination 20 minutes too high. 2528 Stephenson's position (Cat. III/156) is 1,5' too far East, and this error 2528 has been copied out by Alksnis. 2547 Stephenson's position is about 80" too far East and has been used again by 2547 Alksnis. Thanks to the cross-identification with [ABC89] Vel 39 given by 2547 Stephenson, we can associate CGCS 2547 with IRAS 09302-5121. Therefore CGCS 2547 2547 = CGCS 6333, as it is at the same position and also cross-identified 2547 with a [ABC89] star. 2555 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W), Stephenson's and Alksnis' position 2555 agree, but there is no red star there. The closest candidate, USNO-B1.0 2555 0395-00158325, lies 3,4' SE away (MacConnell, unpublished). 2569 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W), Stephenson's and Alksnis' position is 2569 10' too far South. As a result CGCS 2569 = CGCS 2567 (MacConnell, 2569 unpublished). 2574 Stephenson's position is about 150" too far West and has been used again by 2574 Alksnis. The cross-identification [ABC89] Vel 50 gives the right position. 2574 As a result CGCS 2574 = CGCS 6334. 2607 There is an error in Stephenson's right ascension, copied out by Alksnis. 2620 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W), Stephenson's and Alksnis' right 2620 ascension is about 1,5' too high. 2639 Alksnis' position is wrong by more than 1'. 2649 B and V magnitudes have been inverted in Alksnis' catalogue. 2669 CGCS 2669 is not [W71b] 052-02. 2709 Alksnis' position is wrong by about 1,4'. CGCS 2709 = IRAS 10082-5247. 2741 There is a 2 minute transcription error in Stephenson's right ascension, 2741 used again by Alksnis. As a result, CGCS 2741 = CGCS 2746 (MacConnell, 2741 unpublished). 2766 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W) right ascension is 1 minute too high. 2766 This error has been used again by Alksnis. As a result, CGCS 2766 = CGCS 2766 6368 (MacConnell, unpublished). 2794 Alksnis' position is 64" off. 2811 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W) and Stephenson's positions are not 2811 accurate. Alksnis identifies CGCS 2811 with a red star 3' further North, 2811 but according to MacConnell (unpublished), it is not a good identification. 2811 MacConnell identifies CGCS 2811 with USNO-B1 0329-0245767, 1,3' toward 2811 W-NW. 2838 There is an error in MacConnell's (1988AJ.....96..354M) position, by 6 2838 seconds in right ascension and 2 minutes in declination. This error has 2838 been used again by Stephenson and Alksnis. As a result CGCS 2838 = CGCS 2838 6404, which has the correct position. 2870 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W), Stephenson's and Alksnis' position 2870 corresponds to a star, which has a B-V of 0.0 (USNO-B1, Cat. I/284). There 2870 is an IRAS source 1,5' toward North-East. 2871 There is a 1 minute error in Stephenson's declination, used again by 2871 Alksnis. MacConnell's (1988AJ.....96..354M) position is correct. 2904 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W), Stephenson's and Alksnis' declination 2904 is 10' too far South. As a result CGCS 2904 = CGCS 2905 (MacConnell, 2904 unpublished). 2916 CGCS 2916 is not BM IV 138. 2951 There is no star at Blanco and Muench's (1955BOTT....2l..17B), Stephenson's 2951 and Alksnis' position. IRAS 11040-5900 might be a good carbon star 2951 candidate, about 2' away. 2971 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W), Stephenson's and Alksnis' position is 2971 1,5' too far South. 2979 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W), Stephenson's and Alksnis' position is 2979 wrong by 1,3'. The correct position is given by USNO-B1.0 0336-00258154 2979 (MacConnell, unpublished). 2999 Alksnis' position is 1' off. The original position from MacConnell 2999 (1988AJ.....96..354M) is correct. 3062 Alksnis' position is wrong by 1'. 3080 There is a misprint in Stephenson's catalogue, used again in Alksnis' : 3080 CGCS 3080 is not [W71b] 71-14 but [W71b] 71-4. 3130 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W), Stephenson's and Alksnis' right 3130 ascension is 1 minute too small. As a result CGCS 3130 = CGCS 3134 3130 (MacConnell, unpublished). 3164 CGCS 3164 is not [W71b] 74-11. 3194 There is a 2 minute error in Stephenson's and Alksnis' declination. 3199 Alksnis' position is 74" off. 3250 Stephenson's position, due to MacConnell (1979A&AS...38..335M), is wrong. 3250 Therefore CGCS 3250 = CGCS 3253, which has the correct position. 3251 Alksnis' position, due to Westerlund (1971A&AS....4...51W), is 81" off. 3279 Stephenson's position is not at all accurate and Alksnis has used again the 3279 same position, adding an artificial accuracy, so that it appears completely 3279 wrong. 3276 CGCS 3276 is not [LRS87] 8. 3303 CGCS 3303 is not [W71b] 81-4 but [W71b] 81-14. 3337 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W), Stephenson's and Alksnis' declination 3337 is 1 degree too far North. As a result CGCS 3337 = CGCS 3336 (MacConnell, 3337 unpublished). 3344 It is not [ELL90] 143 but [ELL90] 144. 3381 The cross-identification between CD-65 1471 and CGCS 3381 is probably 3381 wrong, as CD-65 1471 has a B-V of 0.12 and spectral type B5. On the other 3381 hand there is no carbon star at Stephenson's and Alksnis' position. The 3381 carbon star mesured by Walker (1979SAAOC...1..112W) has not been 3381 identified. 3392 There is a 1 degree error in Alksnis' declination. 3401 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W), Stephenson's and Alksnis' position is 3401 wrong by nearly 2'. 3453 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W), Stephenson's and Alksnis' right 3453 ascension is 3 minutes too large (MacConnell, unpublished). 3457 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W), Stephenson's and Alksnis' right 3457 ascension is 3 minutes too large (MacConnell, unpublished). 3459 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W), Stephenson's and Alksnis' right 3459 ascension is 3 minutes too large. As a result CGCS 3459 = CGCS 3452 3459 (MacConnell, unpublished). 3474 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W), Stephenson's and Alksnis' right 3474 ascension is 3 minutes too large. As a result CGCS 3474 = CGCS 3468 3474 (MacConnell, unpublished). 3470 CGCS 3470 is not [LRS87] 104. 3475 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W), Stephenson's and Alksnis' right 3475 ascension is 3 minutes too large. As a result CGCS 3475 = CGCS 3470 3475 (MacConnell, unpublished). 3482 Stephenson (1989PW&SO...3...53S, Cat. III/156) and Alksnis misidentified 3482 the star with another one 1,3' further North. 3524 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W) position does not correspond to any 3524 carbon star. Stephenson (1989PW&SO...3...53S, Cat. III/156) gives a new 3524 position more than 6' further East, actually coinciding with a carbon star 3524 and used again by Alksnis. But according to MacConnell (unpublished), the 3524 correct position for CGCS 3524 (= [W71b] 098-02) is 1'30" north of 3524 Westerlund's, corresponding to USNO-B1 0318-0643964. 3528 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W), Stephenson's and Alksnis' right 3528 ascension is 10 minutes too low. As a result CGCS 3528 = CGCS 3541 3528 (MacConnell, unpublished). 3575 CGCS 3575 is not G77-61. 3583 CGCS 3583 is not [W71b] 109-1. 3603 Stephenson's and Alksnis' position is 1' too far South. 3677 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W), Stephenson's and Alksnis' right 3677 ascension is wrong by 10 minutes. As a result CGCS 3677 = CGCS 3697 3677 (MacConnell, unpublished). 3740 CGCS 3740 is not [W71b] 128-3. 3759 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W), Stephenson's and Alksnis' right 3759 ascension is 1 minute too high. As a result CGCS 3759 = CGCS 3757 3759 (MacConnell, unpublished). 3762 Alksnis' position corresponds to a HD star more than 3 arcminutes 3762 northward, whereas Stephenson's position is correct. 3763 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W), Stephenson's and Alksnis' right 3763 ascension is 1 minute too high (MacConnell, unpublished). 3767 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W), Stephenson's and Alksnis' right 3767 ascension is too small by 37 minutes (MacConnell, unpublished). 3768 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W), Stephenson's and Alksnis' position is 3768 1,5' too far South. 3783 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W), Stephenson's and Alksnis' right 3783 ascension is 2 minutes too high (MacConnell, unpublished). 3785 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W) position, used again by the next 3785 authors, has a 2 minute error in right ascension. As a result CGCS 3785 = 3785 CGCS 3780, which gives the correct position (MacConnell, unpublished). 3787 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W), Stephenson's and Alksnis' right 3787 ascension is 2 minutes too high (MacConnell, unpublished). 3810 Alksnis' position is wrong by about 100 arcseconds. 3820 It is misidentified by Alksnis; the correct position is about 1' further 3820 North. 3824 Stephenson's and Alksnis' position, from Fuenmayor (1981RMxAA...6...83F), 3824 is 4' too far South. Furthermore there is a misprint in Alksnis' 3824 cross-identifications : it is not C* 2429 but C* 2439. 3846 Westerlund's (1971A&AS....4...51W) right ascension is 1 minute too high, 3846 and the position given by Stephenson (1989PW&SO...3...53S, Cat. III/156) is 3846 not either correct. The correct identification is [RHI84] 8-359 3846 (MacConnell, unpublished). 3849 Alksnis' position is 2' too far North, error due to Fuenmayor 3849 (1981RMxAA...6...83F). The original position by Stephenson is correct. 3849 Furthermore CGCS 3849 is not [W71b] 138-3 but [W71b] 148-3. 3886 Stephenson's and Alksnis' position is about 4' South of the variable star 3886 V348 Sco and corresponds to a star with a B-V of about 1 (USNO-B1.0, Cat. 3886 I/284). Simbad keeps the cross-identification and the position of the 3886 variable star. 3940 Alksnis' position is 1' off. 3943 Nassau and Blanco's (1954ApJ...120..129N) and Stephenson's position is 3943 approximate, as a result, Alksnis' position, which is the same with an 3943 apparent additional accuracy, is nearly 2' too far east. 3964 According to 1999IBVS.4678....1S, Alksnis' position is about 4,5' too far 3964 West. 4007 Alksnis' position is given in B1950 instead of J2000. 4045 Alksnis' position (from Stephenson) is 80" off. 4100 Stephenson's position is approximate, as a result, Alksnis' position, which 4100 is the same with an apparent and additional accuracy, is wrong by more than 4100 1'. 4158 CGCS 4158 is not V450 CrA. 4194 CGCS 4194 is not V1455 Aql but V1445 Aql. 4198 Nassau and Blanco's (1954ApJ...120..129N) and Stephenson's position is 4198 approximate, as a result, Alksnis' position, which is the same with an 4198 apparent and additional accuracy, is wrong by 105". 4209 Alksnis' position is wrong by 56". 4241 CGCS 4241 is not BD+37 3418a, but is about 1,1' away. 4277 Stephenson's and Alksnis' position is wrong by 83". As a result, CGCS 4277 4277 = CGCS 6786. 4373 Stephenson's and Alksnis' positions are wrong. As a result, CGCS 4373 = 4373 CGCS 6812. 4396 Westerlund's (1959ApJS....4...73W), Stephenson's and Alksnis' position is 4396 6,5' too far East. As a result CGCS 4396 = CGCS 4391. 4407 It is not RAFGL 2428 (RAFGL 2428 = CGCS 4409). 4429 Westerlund's (1959ApJS....4...73W) B1950 position is wrong, and has been 4429 copied out by Stephenson and Alksnis. Compared to BD+31 3737, the J2000 4429 position is 19 43 51.80 +32 29 28.8 (B1950 : 19 41 56.26 +32 22 13.8). As a 4429 result CGCS 4429 = CGCS 4445. 4461 Stephenson's and Alksnis' positions are not accurate. According to the 4461 relative position of Case 457 to BD+37 3588, CGCS 4461 is to be associated 4461 with IRAS 19428+3802. 4490 Alksnis' declination (from Stephenson's) is 2,5' too low. 4493 Alksnis' position (from Stephenson's) is wrong by 80". As a result CGCS 4493 4493 = CGCS 6839. 4500 Stephenson's and Alksnis' positions are wrong. As a result, CGCS 4500 = 4500 CGCS 6840. 4506 Alksnis' position is 72" off. As a result CGCS 4506 = CGCS 6841. 4507 Stephenson's and Alksnis' positions are wrong. As a result, CGCS 4507 = 4507 CGCS 6842. 4580 Stephenson's and Alksnis' declination is 1' too low. 4598 Alksnis' position is 1' too far South. 4628 Alksnis took an erroneous cross-identification from Soyano and Maehara's 4628 list (1999PNAOJ...5..149S) : Kiso C7-166 is CGCS 4638 but not CGCS 4628. 4664 Alksnis' position is wrong by 55". 4783 CGCS 4783 is not V1646 Cyg. 4830 CGCS 4830 is not V1689 Cyg. 4861 Alksnis' position is wrong, it corresponds to another red star. 5024 Alksnis' position is the result of a 1 minute transcription error from 5024 Stephenson's position, which already was not accurate at all. 5109 Blanco's (1958ApJ...127..191B), Stephenson's and Alksnis' position is more 5109 than 5' too far East. As a result CGCS 5109 = CGCS 5102. 5288 CGCS 5288 is not [LRS87] 140. 5333 Alksnis' position is 81" off. 5339 The position of CGCS 5339 is not clearely identified. There is no star at 5339 Alksnis' position. Nassau and Blanco's (1954ApJ...120..129N) 1900 position 5339 is near USNO-B1 1430-0443892, whereas their offset position is near USNO-B1 5339 1430-0443664, and Ackermann's (1970A&A.....8..315A) position is near 5339 USNO-B1 1430-0443970. The three of them are red stars. 5371 Alksnis' position is wrong, it designates another bright star, which is 56" 5371 off. 5508 Alksnis' position is the result of a wrong identification. CGCS is not IRAS 5508 21540+6341, but IRAS 21540+6339 (2001IBVS.5185....1S). 5512 Alksnis' position, derived from Stephenson's which is not accurate, appears 5512 wrong by nearly 2'. CGCS 5512 = GSC 03613-02357. 5569 CGCS 5569 is not BC 177. 5591 Stephenson's and Alksnis' positions are wrong. 5594 There is no star at Stephenson's and Alksnis' position, which comes from 5594 1900 position of Nassau and Blanco (1957ApJ...125..195N). But there is a 5594 carbon star at the offset position of Nassau and Blanco, which is already 5594 CGCS 5590. As a result CGCS 5594 = CGCS 5590. 5598 The nearest red star of Blanco's (1958ApJ...127..191B), Stephenson's and 5598 Alksnis' position is USNO-B1.0 1367-00481285. The offset position of 5598 Blanco's seems to be wrong. 5626 Alksnis' position is wrong. 5650 CGCS 5650 is not V521 Cep. 5678 Alksnis' position is 75" off. 5697 Alksnis' position is 75" off. 6183 We disagree with the cross-identification SZ Mon. 6190 Alksnis' position is 2,5' too far East. 6709 CGCS 6709 is not V449 Cyg.
