IC 2425 is a star about 5 arcmin southwest of NGC 2708. Bigourdan has only one observation of it and he was not very certain about the object. His description reads, "Mag. 13.5 object, sporadically seen, which could be nebulous; but I cannot pronounce on it with certainty."
His position is 11 arcsec west of the star -- I wonder if he also vaguely saw the two stars on further west (the 1950 positions are 08 53 16.35, -03 13 49.0 and 08 53 16.44, -03 14 04.8). If so, these might have thrown his measurement off a bit.― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
