Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 4602 = NGC 6132. Swift's declination is just 1 degree too far north. Otherwise, his position and description fit the galaxy perfectly. He says, "eeeF, lE, S, F * near f; 2 B sts s nearly point to it; eee dif." His notation "S"[mall] comes from his second list from Lowe Observatory, and did not make it into his big 11th catalogue in AN, so is also missing from the IC.
The faint star near following is probably the one at 16 23 46.29, +11 46 03.4 (2000), though there are fainter stars closer to the galaxy. The two bright stars to the south are SAO 102127 and SAO 102128 at V = 8.9 and 8.4, respectively.
