Stephane Javelle discovered IC 4514 = J. 3-1346 on 26 Jul 1895. His position was 2' too far north due to an error in the declination of his offset star. Lewis Swift discovered the galaxy again on 2 Jun 1898 and reported Sw. XI-175 as "eeF; S; lE; pB * p[receding]; another susp[ected]." Swift's RA was 20 seconds too small. The observation was made on the last night he recorded a new discovery (see IC 4514). Both Swift and Javelle are credited in the IC, though Javelle deserves primary credit.

600/800mm - 24" (7/12/18): at 375x; very faint, small, round, 24" diameter. A mag 14.7 star is 0.6' SSE of center. Viewed through thin clouds, which affected the view.
