18" (7/15/07): at 225x this Local Group member appeared faint, fairly large, slightly elongated NW-SE, ~4.5'x3.5', low even surface brightness though fades at the edges. A mag 13 star is superimposed west of center and a fainter star follows.
18" (10/8/05): picked up fairly easily at 115x as a large, low surface brightness hazy region with a mag 13 star superimposed. Good view at 160x using the Meade 14mm Ultrawide. Appeared faint, large, slightly elongated, ~4'-5' diameter (though no distinct borders) with a patchy, mottled appearance, very weak concentration. Several faint stars (besides the mag 13 star) are superimposed. Situated within a rich star field and appears similar to a low surface brightness emission or reflection nebula.

Fairly evenly illuminated but the halo has a slightly irregular surface brightness. A mag 15 star is 20" WNW of center with a slightly fainter star further N. Located 3.4' NW of mag 9.5 SAO 56707. A mag 11 and 13 stars complete a trio to the SE.

At 500x, appeared as a small, well-defined disc, elongated 4:3 SW-NE with dimensions ~7"x5". The quasi-stellar center was brighter with a small, fainter halo which seemed irregular. A couple of faint stars are close W and N. Located 3.5' NW of a distinctive trio of mag 10/11/13 stars.

17.5" (2/22/03): at 100x, the bright 10.5 magnitude central star was centered in a 10" round halo with a definite rosy or raspberry tint at the outer edge of the halo, though the effect is fairly subtle. Using an H-beta filter, the central star is strongly dimmed but the halo is significantly enhanced, dramatically changing the view of this planetary. At 380x, no color was visible but the halo was a bit asymmetrical with a "softer" edge and possible double shell structure. The center was very slightly darker around the central star.
17.5" (12/30/99): at 82x the mag 10.5 central star was enveloped in a very small round halo which appeared to have a slight reddish tinge at its edge. This is a low-excitation PN and using a H-beta filter, the halo brightened and the central star faded, leaving a more noticeable disc. At 220x, the prominent central star was surrounded by a well-defined 10" halo which partially "blinked" on and off switching from averted to direct vision. At 280x, the small halo was possibly surrounded by an extremely faint envelope, but this could not be confirmed. 380x and 500x presented a superb view of the inner disc which appeared weakly annular.
17.5" (3/8/97): unusually bright mag 10.5 central star surrounded by a small high surface brightness halo. At 220x, this planetary has a distinct "blinking" effect; staring at central star partially washes out the halo and with averted the halo is more dominant. At 82x, an unusual rosy tinge is evident at the edge of the small halo, although the effect is fairly subdued. The seeing was not steady enough for high power viewing of the outer shell.
17.5": high surface brightness planetary which appears very bright at 481x. Contains a bright "fuzzy" central star with a bright inner portion surrounded by a second fainter shell slightly elongated N-S.

11 48 20.1 +12 42 59
V = 14.6; Size 0.5x0.5; Surf Br = 13.1
17.5" (3/8/97): HCG 59B is the fainter of two visible in HCG 59 and located 1.9' ESE of IC 737 = HCG 59A. Very faint, small, round, 20" diameter. With averted vision, the halo is closer to 30" (similar to IC 736) but the surface brightness is slightly lower.
Discovered by Javelle. The galaxy identified as IC 736 in RC3/MCG/CGCG is actually IC 737 and the galaxy identified in the modern catalogues as IC 737 is Hickson 59d.
Several catalogues (including RC3, MCG and CGCG) identify IC 736 with Hickson 59A = M+02-30-039 = CGCG 068-070 and IC 737 with Hickson 59D = M+02-30-040 = CGCG 068-072. When I took a look at this group, this immediately seemed odd as the brightest pair of galaxies are clearly Hickson 59A and Hickson 59B and I missed Hickson 59D which the modern catalogues identify as IC 737.
The IC entries are from Javelle made with the 30 inch refractor at the Nice observatory. His micrometric measurements are generally excellent and his rounded positions precessed to 1950 are as follows:
IC 736 11 45 45 +12 59.6
IC 737 11 45 53 +13 00.2
Now, compare these to the Hickson's 1950 positions for 59B and 59A, respectively and they are a dead-on match:
CorwinG 59B 11 45 45.6 +12 59 38.7
CorwinG 59A 11 45 52.9 +13 00 19.0
As this pair was also the most prominent visually in my 17.5", I'd suggest the modern catalogues are incorrect and
IC 736 = CorwinG 59B = M+02-30-037 = CGCG 068-068 = PGC 36853
IC 737 = CorwinG 59A = M+02-30-039 = CGCG 068-070 = PGC 36861
Re-reducing Javelle's offsets (and ignoring proper motion of the offset star) gives for J2000
J203 11 48 19.5 +12 42 56
J204 11 48 27.6 +12 43 35
GSC positions for these galaxies are:
IC 736 11 48 20.1 +12 42 59
IC 737 11 48 27.5 +12 43 38
So, these identifications are certain.

This galaxy is identified in all modern sources as CGCG 102-020 and IC 897
