Stephane Javelle discovered IC 5160 = J. 3-1412 on 15 Oct 1903 and measured an accurate position. UGC reverses the declinations of IC 5160 and NGC 7190. NED comments that "often incorrectly called NGC 7190; that is UGC 11885."

400/500mm - 18" (8/8/10): faint, fairly small, slightly elongated ~N-S, ~27"x20". Exhibits a weak, even concentration to the center but no core or zones. Located 16' E of mag 6.4 HD 209288 and 16' S of NGC 7190. Roughly 6' S is NGC 7193, a distinctive asterism of a dozen mag 11-12 stars (considered an open cluster remnant) that is very elongated NW to SE, extending ~6'x1'.
