Ngc 1909
William Herschel found the Witch Head on 20/12/1786 with his 18.5" reflector. He numbered it V 38 and wrote "Strongly suspected nebulosity of v. great extent. Not less than 2d 11m of PD [north-south], and 26' of RA in time."
I am not sure why it is now called IC 2118 because it was called NGC 1909.
