Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 1005 = NGC 5607. Swift's position is a minute of time too small. Otherwise, his description and place matches NGC 5607 to within his usual, rather large, observational error. The fact that he called it "F" means that it is one of the brighter objects that he discovered; this makes the identity all the more certain.
This may also be NGC 5620. See that for another story, though Swift is not involved in that one.
