This has two components, the brighter one to the northeast. Bigourdan misidentified his comparison star one of the two nights he observed this, so the two components have IC numbers, IC 4173 and IC 4176, as well.
The misidentified star led Bigourdan to believe that he had found a third "nova" in the field, too. See IC 4134 = NGC 4920 for the details.― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
