Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 275 is a triple galaxy close to Swift's position. It's possible that his object is only one of the three, and that the "F star near preceding" is a second. There are also two candidates for his "D star nr sp", the prime one being a wide double about 3 arcmin southwest.
I've taken the brightest object as IC 275. It is a cD galaxy in a cluster with an extended corona that encompasses the other two components; those may merely be optical companions rather than interacting with the main galaxy.
