IC 2962 is currently lost. While excavating the sky for SEGC, I wondered if it might be identical to NGC 3905. That has the same RA, but the Dec is 2 deg 35 arcmin off Swift's, making the identity very doubtful. The object is also not 10 or 20 degrees south of its nominal position. Nor is it 10 degrees north, and the RA is not one hour off one way or another.

See IC 2595 for more about the nebulae that Swift discovered on the night of 22 February 1898.
