IC 4594 = NGC 6075. Javelle got the sign on his NPD offset wrong. Corrected, his position falls within three arcsec of the nucleus of the NGC galaxy.
Unfortunately, there is an 18th magnitude galaxy near the incorrect position copied into the IC. This has been occasionally taken as the IC object; it is not.
Wolfgang Steinicke was the first to note the identity with NGC 6075, one of Stephan's objects.― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
