Francis Leavenworth discovered NGC 1034 = LM 1-62 on 12 Nov 1886 with the 26" refractor at Leander McCormick Observatory. There is nothing at his position, but 1.0 tmin of RA west is MCG -03-07-043 = PGC 9991 and his comment "2 B st, p 20s" matches this galaxy. Herbert Howe measured an accurate position in 1899-00 using the 20" refractor at Chamberlin Observatory (repeated in the IC 2 notes). He noted the two "B st" are only mag 11 and 12.

400/500mm - 17.5" (10/29/94): fairly faint, small, elongated 3:2 WNW-ESE, 0.8'x0.5', weak concentration. A wide pair of evenly matched mag 12-13 stars lie 5' W (58" separation in PA 316?).
