Stephane Javelle found IC 4412 = J. 1306 on 14 Jul 1895. His position in his third list matches NGC 5594, whose position was imprecise. Both CGCG and MCG label this galaxy as IC 4412 instead of NGC 5594.

400/500mm - 17.5" (6/23/01): faint, small, elongated 4:3 ~N-S, 0.7'x0.5', weak concentration. Located 1.9' NNW of a mag 10.5 star. The galaxy did not appear as elongated as dimensions imply, so probably only viewed the inner region.
