Im wondering if it does have a designation but was missed in one catalog and every other publication just copied data from it.

The object does show up in a SIMBAD search of your co-ordinates (attached)
When I did the search however, it returned 900 objects in a 1/4 degree
space.
As to which one it was....I have no idea.
