IC 1304 may be a clump of field stars a few arcmin to the northeast of Espin's position. It may also be UGC 11460, but this would require an error in RA of 2 min 24 sec which would make it unique among his objects. His declination is just 2 arcmin off the galaxy's, within his nominal accuracy of 3 arcmin.

Espin says nothing more than "Faint nebulosity." Without some notion of size, any attempt at identification is only speculation. At least we have a couple of candidates.

See IC 1299 for more.

If the "cluster" is Espin's object, then -- like IC 1299 -- it is not included in "Star Clusters" aside from a mention as one of Espin's discoveries.
