Description

@apace7

The center (ra,dec) of Balbinot 1 in the LVDB does not match the published ra, dec.
The current LVDB center is a by-eye fit and has been changed from the published center (original astrometry error?).

ra_lvdb, dec_lvdb = 332.6791, 14.9403
ra_pub, dec_pub = 332.6797, 14.9496

The published center does not match the center of the system based on the Legacy viewer (link).

The lower and upper yellow circles correspond to the LVDB and published centers, respectively.
The published center is ~30 arcsec away from the actual center.

The center of Balbinot 1 needs to be re-measured.
