NGC 1615 (= PGC 15608)
Discovered (Jan 5, 1878) by Édouard Stephan (9-3)
A 14th-magnitude lenticular galaxy (type SA0 pec?) in Taurus (RA 04 36 01.9, Dec +19 57 03)
The galaxy exhibits a southeastern extension which is unusual in lenticular galaxies, and if the images available were of better quality, they would probably show some interesting detail. |

Recorded (Dec 22, 1886) by Lewis Swift (6-17)
A lost or nonexistent object in Eridanus (RA 04 36 11.4, Dec -04 49 57)
Per Dreyer, NGC 1619 (= Swift list VI (#17), 1860 RA 04 29 16, NPD 95 07.3) is "most extremely faint, small, round". The second IC notes "Not found by Howe", and apparently no one else has been able to find it, either.
