I just tried it with my 12" LX200 ROM (4.34). Yes, it says RA 48 and Dec
34. The object is really at RA 0 Dec 32. When I hit goto it went to
approximately the right place in the sky (no way I can see it right now as
it isn't even dark yet). It is interesting that this is the very first
entry in the NGC2000.0 database, though.
