IC 4289 is probably a collisional Ring galaxy and I observed the nucleus, which is embedded in the north portion of the ring. I saw no sign of this structure.

Lewis Swift discovered IC 5289 = Sw. XI-225 on 10 Sep 1896 and noted "a few eeeF st[ars] in neb[ulosity]." His position is 7' SW of an empty ring galaxy with apparently two interacting galaxies embedded on the north and south side of the ring!

600/800mm - 24" (9/6/18): at 375x; very faint, small, round, 20" diameter, fairly low surface brightness. A mag 14.7 star is 30" E. Located 23' WSW of mag 7.6 HD 219034 and 1.6° W of mag 4.4 Gamma Sculptoris.
