Swift comments "... another or a few F sts nr." Howe noted only one star of 13th magnitude 0.7 arcmin southwest of the galaxy, but there are several other faint galaxies in the area. The closest and brightest is 1.7 arcmin north-northeast; is this the other nebula that Swift suspected?― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
