IC 1491 NGC 7758
Aqr
☀14.1mag
Ø 72'' / 36''

LEDA 93132, situated 2.0' N, appeared faint, very small, round, 12" diameter. A mag 13.2 star is 40" SE.

Stephane Javelle discovered IC 1346 = J. 1-407, along with IC 1354, on 7 Aug 1891. There is nothing at either of his positions but their relative positions point to IC 1346 = MCG -02-53-019 and IC 1354 = MCG -02-53-021. Harold Corwin worked backwards and found that Javelle misidentified his offset star, which caused the poor positions. He found the second galaxy again on 26 July 1892 and measured an accurate position. As a result IC 1354 is better known as IC 1350.

600/800mm - 24" (7/11/18): at 375x; faint or fairly faint, fairly small, low uniform surface brightness, 30" diameter. Slightly brighter IC 1350 lies 7.5' NE and slightly fainter IC 1341 is 20' W.
