IC 1094 is a triple system [PGC 54011, PGC 54006, and PGC 54009]. Javelle measured the brightest southern component and noted that the object was double, apparently seeing the two northern components as a single nebula.

The southern galaxy has a double nucleus, or is perhaps an interacting pair. The two nuclei are separated by only 1.6 arcseconds, so I've taken the object as a single galaxy. Note, however, that the SDSS position is for the northern nucleus and the Gaia position applies to the southern. The position I have finally adopted is from Pan-STARRS1, and is close to a mean of the two.
