IC 5153 is probably the star, perhaps mixed with a bit of the galaxy's light, that I've listed in the table. Bigourdan's single estimated position is just a dozen or so arcsec south of the pair -- though I am amazed that he could have seen this, even on a splendid night. Nevertheless, he has it the right distance from the nearby star that he mentions, so at least the faint star apparently really did catch his keen eye.
