IC 2225. The CGCG identification of this number with CGCG 178-026 is almost certainly correct. Javelle's position is exactly 1 minute of time out in RA, and his declination (once the proper motion of his comparison star is taken into account) is less than 9 arcsec off, well within the statistical errors in his measurements.

Glen Deen suggested that the bright, wide triple star northeast of Javelle's position might be I2225. I don't think that this is correct since Javelle was using a 30-inch refractor, and almost certainly would not mistake a bright asterism for a 14th magnitude nebula.
