Bigourdan found this while he was searching for NGC 6059 (which see). His description is similar to many of the other "nebulae" that he found during his micrometric survey of the NGC: "This object is formed by a star 13.3-13.4 accompanied by a star 13.3 situated at PA = 265deg, d = 1', with perhaps a trace of nebulosity. Approximate measurement." This is a fair description of two stars near Bigourdan's approximate position; the second star to the west has a fainter companion just a bit north that may have led Bigourdan to his belief that there was nebulosity accompanying the stars. I have positions for all of these in the big table.
