Stewart calls this simply "eF, eS, D neb". His position, given as usual to a minute of arc, is west of a large, faint irregular galaxy that may actually be an interacting pair. I suspect, however, that it is simply a single, peculiar, late-type irregular.
Nevertheless, I've given two positions for it, as well as a position for the star just 0.2 arcminutes west of the eastern arm (if it is indeed an "arm"). This will make an interesting object on which to do a velocity field study.
The second galaxy in the field is IC 4828. It is only an optical companion, however, with a velocity of +3843 km/s, while IC 4824 has a velocity of +937 km/s.― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
