Stephane Javelle discovered IC 1093 = J. 1-340, along with IC 1094, on 8 Jul 1891 with the 30-inch refractor at the Nice Observatory. He recorded "pB, vS, R, lbM". His position is 1.6' too far south (same offset as IC 1094).

600/800mm - 24" (6/14/15): faint to fairly faint, fairly small, round, 0.6' diameter, very weak concentration, overall low surface brightness. IC 1094 lies 5' NNE.
