Stephane Javelle discovered IC 41 = J. 1-29 on 26 Aug 1892. His position is accurate so there is no doubt about the identification. Nevertheless MCG misidentifies MCG -03-02-035 = NGC 207 as IC 41. As a result, the PGC incorrectly equates IC 41 and NGC 207. See NGC 207 for more identification errors.

600/800mm - 24" (9/30/16): at 282x; faint, small, slightly elongated N-S, ~20"x15". Located 3.7' N of NGC 207 and 7.8' E of NGC 178.
