dc.descriptionWe re-estimate the angular 2-point galaxy correlation function from the Lick galaxy catalogue. We argue that the large-scale gradients observed in the Lick catalogue are dominated by real clustering and therefore they should not be subtracted prior to the estimation of the 2-p correlation function. We find that if no such correction is introduced the galaxy correlations are perfectly consistent with the those found in the APM survey. Thus, the long standing discrepancy between the Lick and APM angular correlations is lifted.
