Stephane Javelle discovered IC 4405 = J. 3-1319 on 27 Jul 1895. His computed dec is ~2' too far south, with the error apparently due to a poor position for his reference star.

400/500mm - 17.5" (6/20/98): faint, small, round, 25" diameter, weak concentration. Forms the north vertex of an obtuse triangle with two mag 13.5/14 stars 1.3' SE and 2.2' WSW. Located 11' NW of NGC 5641.
