Stephane Javelle discovered IC 2751 = J. 3-1180, along with ICs 2735, 2738 and 2744, on 22 May 1903. His re-reduced position matches CGCG 185-047 = PGC 34873. MCG, PGC, HyperLeda and secondary sources such as Megastar misidentify CGCG 185-046 as IC 2751. Although this galaxy is larger and slightly brighter, it was missed by Javelle.

400/500mm - 17.5" (3/12/88): extremely faint and small, nearly stellar, round. Located 3.2' NNE of CGCG 185-046 and 5.1' E of IC 2744. Fifth of six galaxies in the core of AGC 1228.
