This object
was reported by
Poulakos (1978A&AS...32..395P)
. On comparing the finder chart with DSS images, it was apparent that the intended star is a flaw on the POSS-I red plate. The star is absent on all other images including 2MASS. Curiously, it is claimed that a spectrum was obtained showing the star as carbon, but this is obviously mistaken.
