IC 9171, a very low surface brightness superthin 3' ESE, popped occasionally as an extremely faint, small sliver NW-SE (probably only the brighter central part glimpsed).

CGCG 104-006, located 12' SE, appeared very faint, small, round, 20" diameter, low surface brightness.

Stephane Javelle discovered IC 1000 = J. 1-284, along with IC 999, on 23 Jun 1892. His position is off the east side of the galaxy.

600/800mm - 24" (7/1/19): at 375x; between fairly faint and moderately bright, fairly small, very elongated 3:1 NW-SE, 35"x12", slightly brighter nucleus. Forms a similar pair with IC 999 2.2' NW.
