Max Wolf discovered IC 4182 = W. V-216 from a Heidelberg plate taken 21 Mar 1903.

600/800mm - 24" (5/22/17): at 124x; fairly faint, very large, very diffuse oval glow, roughly 4.5'x3.5' diameter E-W, This low surface brightness dwarf is a bit patchy or uneven but there no distinct core or nucleus was visible. A bright mag 11 star is superimposed on the southeast side and a mag 12 star is on the northeast side. IC 4182 is a nearby galaxy (~15 million l.y.) and a member of the Canes Venatici I cloud.
