IC 200. The galaxy 34s following the IC position is probably too faint to have been seen by Safford, and the description does not match in any case. The object 2 minutes of time following does match his description, and a 2 min digit error is more likely to be made than a 34s error.
See IC 1008, IC 1026, and IC 1030 for other notes on nebulae found by Safford with the Clark 18.5-inch that also share digit errors in their RA's.
