Max Wolf discovered IC 4064 = W. V-164 on a Heidelberg plate taken 21 Mar 1903. His position is accurate.

600/800mm - 24" (5/22/17): at 375x; fairly faint, fairly small, round, very small bright core increases to the center. The halo increases with averted vision and appears somewhat elongated SSW-NNE, ~50"x35". The galaxy forms a right angle with a mag 10.2 star 1.2' E and a mag 12 star 1.6' S. Brightest in a small group (AWM 6) of otherwise faint IC galaxies. IC 4062 is the closest at 1.9' NW, IC 4065 is 5.8' SSE, IC 4056 is 6.8' SW, IC 4068 (often misidentified as IC 4067) is 4.3' NE. The group resides at a distance of ~500 million l.y.
