Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 1179 is almost certainly = NGC 6050. Together, the two objects [PGC 57053 and PGC 57058] are just visible in the 30-inch at McDonald. I found it impossible to separate them, even knowing that both existed. So, I think it is unlikely that Swift could have seen these as separate objects with his 16-inch telescope.
