IC 2192 is the faintest of three galaxies (the others are IC 2194 and IC 2196) picked up by Javelle from a group of at least six south of Castor. His position is good and unambiguously identifies the galaxy he saw as IC 2192. In addition, his description includes a note about a "star 14 nearly in contact"; the star is there.
Barnard found five of the galaxies in May 1888. Dreyer questioned whether one of those, IC 2193, might be identical to this object. I don't think so. See IC 2193 for more.― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
