NGC 7762 Plotted In Wrong Location (Answer: If Possible, Fix In Update)

NGC 7762 in SS6 Pro is plotted in the wrong location, and also is probably the wrong size.  After logging it for the 2nd time in 3 years, I compared my notes to Steve Gottlieb and noted drastic differences.  After further investigation, and confirming the real location with Steve and Wolfgang Steinicke's data, it appears to be wrong.  The correct coordinates should be 23 50.0 +68 02 18.

This object is on the Astronomical League's Herschel II program, so I'm guessing others think they've seen this object due to the incorrect location.  Thanks!
