Stewart's nominal position falls between two galaxies, but is a bit closer to the brighter, eastern of the candidates (it is 10 seconds of time off). The declination matches, too, though that is a loose constraint as Stewart gives declinations only to a full minute of arc. His description, "Stell[ar]" is not much help, either. Both galaxies are small and have compact, "stellar" nuclei.

So, I've taken the eastern galaxy as IC 1920. Wolfgang, however, chose the slightly fainter western object. Since that is a possibility, I've left it in the table, though with question marks.

Given the ambiguity, we need to look at the original plate. Stewart's positions on this plate, by the way, are good. See IC 1923 for more.
