Stephane Javelle discovered IC 1386 = J. 1-434 on 22 Aug 1892. His position is accurate. It's curious, though, that he described this galaxy as "bi-nuclear or a nebulous double star", as it is only a single E/S0 type.

600/800mm - 24" (9/8/18): at 260x; fairly faint, fairly small, round, 25" diameter, broad concetration but no distinct core. A nice pair of star (~11" separation) lies 3.8' SSW and a wider fainter pair (15" separation) is 3.0' ENE. Located 3.2° NW of M30.
