IC 1363 is another of Espin's asterisms which he took to be a nebula. He describes this one as "Faint, extending N. from DM +46 3214, 9.4 mag." The magnitude applies to the star, not the "nebula."

The densest part of the asterism is actually a bit northeast of the BD star, but stretching on north as Espin notes. Coincidentally, there is another star, just a bit fainter than the BD star, at the south end of the asterism. I make the asterism's size about 2 x 1.5 arcmin.

See IC 1299 for more.
