1173 By Guillaume Bigourdan December 17, 1884 03 h 04 m 11 s + 41 ° 21 ′, 8 The entries all go back to stars in the vicinity of the galaxy NGC 1175 . The pole distances originally given by Bigourdan are apparently one degree too great.

1429 Eri Francis Leavenworth 1886 03 h 44 m 04 s −04 ° 43 ′, 1 Leavenworth described a pair of two nebulae, the first object according to his notes being a galaxy now listed as NGC 1424 . In the vicinity of this galaxy, however, there is no other object that could be considered for the described observation. Leavenworth may have observed an entirely different pair of foggy objects.

1619 Eri Lewis A. Swift December 22, 1886 04 h 36 m 11 s −04 ° 36 ′, 2 There is no foggy object to be found at the specified location; possibly the observed object was one of the faint members of the NGC-1600 group.

1675
1707 Ori John Herschel January 8, 1828 04 h 58 m 21 s + 08 ° 04 ′, 3 The entry is based on an asterism of four stars. When determining the coordinates of the supposedly discovered foggy object, John Herschel made an error of 30 arc seconds in the right ascension. When Guillaume Bigourdan wanted to understand Herschel's discovery, he observed another star, which he mistakenly believed to be foggy, due to the incorrect coordinates, and incorrectly identified it with NGC 1707. When Bigourdan then observed the same area of ​​the sky again eleven years later, he originally found that of Herschel observed asterism, but still did not notice its coordinate errors, which is why he recorded the asterism as a new nebula, which later received the entry IC 2107 in the index catalog .
