Hi Ivan,
It's a cool object and great to hear you hunted it down.
Named after Argentine astronomer Carlos Raśl Fourcade and
Chilean night assistant Edgardo Javier Figueroa, who spotted it whilst
examining a plate from the Curtis-Schmidt camera on the Cerro Tololo
Observatory in Chile in 1970, I have got to see it through both a 14"
(challenging) and a 25" (immediately apparent) at Coonabarrabran.
