Until I saw the SDSS image early in May 2017, I could not be sure that the superposed star was not actually a companion galaxy. The SDSS clearly shows it as a star, so the previous versions of the position table got the type wrong.
Also see NGC 863 where this figures in the identification of several of Lewis Swift's nebulae.― NGC Notes by Harold Corwin
