Steve,
Sounds about right to me, based on what Jennifer presented at the last
SAC meeting. It was evidently publicized in the French magazine,
"Astronomie". I did not catch the name of the author of the article...
Hopefully, Jennifer will share the full citation....
I am sure it is visible in binoculars (although I have not tried for it
myself....) No. 114 is good! Spelling is correct; also designated by
the French author as "Polakis 1".
