Lewis Swift discovered IC 845 = Sw. VIII-67 on 3 May 1889 and reported "eeeF; S; R; F * nr. p[receding]." There is nothing at his position, though the declination is given to the nearest minute and marked as uncertain. Junder under 6' WSW of his position is PGC 45234 and a mag 13 star is 3' W, matching his description. So, this is the most likely candidate, though it is not identified as IC 845 in MCG, CGCG, PGC, etc.

600/800mm - 24" (5/20/20): at 225x and 375x; between faint and fairly faint, small, round, 0.4' diameter. A mag 13 star is 3' W.
