While you're here, how about checking out the

This may have something to do with the LX200's precession calculations.
The RA of IC5370 crossed the RA=0 boundary earlier this year when computed
in coordinates of date as the LX200 does.
This doesn't explain why it's declination is off by two *degrees* in the
LX200 database, though.
