IC 1613 is a very large elliptical galaxy in the constellation Cetus that is another member of the Sculptor group of galaxies. As is common with galaxies in this group, although IC 1613 has a relatively bright apparent magnitude of 9.9, its large size makes it a difficult object for smaller telescopes unless the skies are very dark. In an 8" telescope under dark skies, the galaxy appears as a vey faint smudge of light.
