Dunlop 546 IC 5332 GX
In the list of 111 Bright NGC objects there are references to nearby objects, IC 5332 is one of these. It seems likely that James Dunlop found the galaxy IC 5332 in 1826 but John Herschel missed it. Here is Dunlop's description.
D546 (IC 5332 mag 11.1)
An extremely feeble nebula, ill-defined; it appears rather elongated oblique to the equator; it is north following a star of the 7th magnitude (m7.3), and also north of the small stars. 1 observation.
() not in the original.
D546 is 1 degree south of IC5332 but the description matches ok.
Did Dunlop see it? What do you think?
