Guillaume Bigourdan discovered IC 5283 = Big. 348 = J. 3-1432 on 4 Sep 1891. Stephane Javelle independently discovered it on 16 Oct 1903 and measured a very accurate micrometric position.

400/500mm - 17.5" (11/1/86): very faint, small, round, diffuse, even surface brightness. Forms a close pair with NGC 7469, just 1.3' NNE of the brighter galaxy.
