IC 447

is a large reflection nebula in Monoceros set within a complex of smaller reflection and dark nebulae.
The Nebula is often referred to as Dreyer’s Nebula after John Dreyer who compiled the NGC and IC catalogs, but it was actually discovered by Barnard. The confusion is probably due to Barnard often referencing objects as Dreyer with the catalog number.
