Aaron Skinner, an assistant to Truman Safford, discovered IC 210 = Sf 101 on 23 Oct 1867 with the 18.5-inch refractor at the Dearborn Observatory. As the discovery list wasn't published until 1887 (too late for inclusion in the main NGC table), Dreyer credited Safford with the discovery in the IC 1. The discovery position is just off the north edge of the galaxy, so the identification is certain.

400/500mm - 18" (10/21/06): fairly faint, fairly large, edge-on 6:1 WSW-ENE, 1.8'x0.3', very low even surface brightness. Located 3.4' SW of a mag 9.3 star (SAO 129724). MCG -02-06-035 lies 11' E. Located 27' due north of NGC 835 (HCG 16).
