History and Accurate Positions for the NGC/IC Objects (Corwin 2004)
NGC 6846. The RNGC position is 2 degrees too far south. At the correct position is a compact little cluster matching Stephan's description exactly: the three brightest stars are clear enough that he could see them, but the others are considerably fainter, so the entire group must have looked quite nebulous to him.
Published comments
Sulentic & Tifft (1973)
The RNGC (Sulentic and Tifft 1973) notes that this is a 14.0 mag open cluster.
