IC 4465 is noted as "lE 180 deg" by Frost. The position angle is actually closer to 85 deg. This may be a misprint, or it may suggest that the image on the discovery plate is flawed in some way. Frost's position is good, and there are no other likely candidates nearby, so I do not doubt the identification. But the position angle is a bit of a mystery. Checking the original Bruce plate might clear up the question.― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
