UGC 11724, located 2.7' S, was an extremely faint, ghostly streak oriented NW-SE. It only occasionally popped into visibility.

Rudolph Spitaler discovered IC 1373 = Spitaler 28 on 25 Sep 1891. He described "Faint, round nebula of 1/4' diameter and similar to a mag 13 star. Large, fuzzy core = mag 14. There is a whole nest of very faint nebula in this area; the observed one is the northernmost and most easily visible of 3. Since UGC 11724 is just south of IC 1371, he likely saw the UGC.

600/800mm - 24" (9/5/18): at 375x: fairly faint, small, round, 18" diameter. Located 9' S of mag 8.0 HD 203173. Also a mag 9.3 star is 6' N and several other brighter stars are scattered around.
