It is possible that entry III.3 of the catalogue of Nicolas Louis de Lacaille, often listed as missing, is IC 2395.

According to Lacaille's entry, the object consists of a "Star of 6th magnitude, connected to another more southern one by a nebulous trace", and gives the coordinates RA=08:42.2, Dec=-48:04.

[4] These coordinates are 2' west and 1' south of the location of van den Bergh-Hagen 47 according to Sky Catalogue 2000.0, which is within the cluster's diameter.

Based on its young age and distance, it is possible that IC 2395 is part of the Vela OB1C stellar association.

[7] The brightest member of the cluster has mag 5.53, and its bluest main sequence star is of spectral type B5.
