Stephane Javelle discovered IC 1017 = J. I-293, along with IC 1013, on 16 Jun 1892 with the 30-inch refractor at the Nice Observatory. His position matches UGC 9276. I'm surprised JH didn't pick up this relatively bright galaxy in his two observations of NGC 5629.

400/500mm - 17.5" (5/11/96): fairly faint, small, elongated 2:1 NW-SE, 45"x25", bright core. A mag 12 star is 1.1' WSW. This galaxy is located 2.4' NW of NGC 5629 and is the second brightest in a group of 5 galaxies in field including IC 1013 4' SW.
