NGC 7594 = IC 1478. The confusion arose because Ainslie Common's position is none too good. His description, however, pinpoints the galaxy: "Faint, round, following 3 stars in a line [oriented at] 90 deg pointing to another fainter nebula south." The "fainter nebula south" is IC 5306 (which see; it was rediscovered by Kobold). I suspect that Dreyer did not include this in the NGC because of the lack of a position. That did not prevent him from including other poorly observed nebulae, however, so his decision remains a bit of a puzzle.― NGC Notes by Harold Corwin

IC 1478 = NGC 7594 (which see). Bigourdan recorded IC 5307 (which also see) as NGC 7594, and called NGC 7594 a nova. In spite of the confusion of the names, his positions are good (as are Kobold's), so we can easily sort out the field.― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
