IC 289 is aplanetary nebula in the constellationCassiopeia.[3] It was discovered byLewis Swift in early September 1888. It lies close to the 10th magnitude star BD +60° 0631. N.J. Martin described IC 289 as "A nice, faint round planet likeplanetary nebula. The uniform oval disc shows some irregularity in brightness but is not obviously brighter at the edge."[citation needed]
The central star of the planetary nebula is anO-type star with aspectral type of O(H).[4]
