Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
Javelle's position falls west of the galaxy and a little north, apparently influenced by the faint double star close to the northwest edge of the galaxy (there is another brighter double about 1.1 arcminutes to the north and a little east).
I'm going to keep the identification firmly with the galaxy, though, and adopt my usual notation for the stars -- they are "nearby", not part of the IC object (though if you want to pull them in, I won't object).
