Sherburne Burnham discovered IC 1327 on 20 Aug 1889 with the Lick 36-inch in the field of mag 7.1 HD 196203. He measured a P.A. of 257° and a separation of 84.5". The discovery was announced in Publications of Lick Observatory, Vol II and AN 2957.

600/800mm - 24" (7/16/15): faint to fairly faint, fairly small, round, 18" diameter, weak concentration. Located 1.5' WSW of mag 7.1 HD 196203, which detracts from viewing!
