IC 4491 = IC 1055. Stewart's RA is three minutes of time off, apparently a mismeasurement. His description reads "F, S, eE at 0 degrees (I.C.1055, J.318, f 3.0m, same dec.)". It's not clear from this whether he saw something on his plate at what he thought was IC 1055's position, but there is certainly nothing at the position he gives for his object.
The description, and the even three-minute error, make it clear that the two numbers refer to the same object.― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
