Stephane Javelle discovered IC 1504 = J. 496 on 19 Aug 1892. His published position is 2' too far north (error with offset star?).

600/800mm - 24" (11/24/14): fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 5:2 E-W, very weak concentration, 36"x15". A mag 15 star is just off the south side [39" from center]. Picked up 17' NNW of NGC 7731.
