IC 1464A, the southeastern galaxy, was less obvious, though it was seen as a distinct, very faint glow at the SE edge of the halo of 1464B, perhaps 25"x15" SW-NE.

Stephane Javelle discovered IC 1464 = J. 1-479 on 2 Nov 1891. His position is accurate. This is a contact pair of elongated spirals and Javelle noted it appeared to be double.

600/800mm - 24" (9/7/18): IC 1464 is a a very close pair of elongated spirals (20" between centers) and the two components were often resolved at 375x. IC 1464B, the brighter northwestern galaxy, was fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 3:2 ~SSW-NNE, ~30"x20", slightly brighter core.
