IC 1429 is a star. In addition, Bigourdan published his single estimated RA offset from his comparison star with the wrong sign. This is clear from his note that "... some time after the measures (sic), I noted, from memory, that a star of 11th magnitude is toward PA = 330 deg, d = 1' +-". That brighter star is there if the sign is in fact opposite from the printed minus sign.

As with IC 1424, Wolfgang has picked up a galaxy that is much too faint for Bigourdan to have seen with his 30-cm refractor.
