Stephane Javelle discovered IC 1422 = J. 2-794, along with IC 1425 and 1428, on 19 Aug 1893. His position is less than 30" too far north, although neither CGCG, PGC or HyperLEDA linked IC 1422 with their equivalent catalog entries.

600/800mm - 24" (9/5/18): at 375x; very faint, very small, round, only 12" diameter. A mag 14 star is 1.4' SE and a mag 15.3 star is 1.0' NW. Brighter IC 1425 lies 6' E.
