Stephane Javelle discovered IC 514 = J. 2-621, along with IC 517, on 20 Mar 1893 and recorded "vF, elongated in the meridian [N-S], no central brightening." The next night he discovered nearby IC 515 and IC 516.

600/800mm - 24" (2/5/13): very faint, very small, round, 12" diameter. A mag 16 star is attached at the south edge. Located 12' SSW of NGC 2616 in a group (WBL 188) and 3.5' NE of a mag 10.1 star. Forms a pair with CGCG 004-065 2.4' S. I'm surprised that Javelle, who discovered IC 514, missed the CGCG as it's similar in brightness and size.
