IC 1246 is a star. Bigourdan estimated its position only once, but his estimate still falls within a few arcsec of the star. His description makes it clear that Bigourdan was not much interested in the object: "Very faint object, maybe nebulous, only suspected." He also got the direction of his "comparison" star wrong (it is the "* 10 n 1 arcmin" in the NGC description) -- it is actually south of his suspected nebula.
