IC 5086 is probably ESO 464-G025. This would make Swift's position 1 minute of time too small, and 16 arcmin too far south. However, his description of the object "eeF, pS, R; F* near f 90deg" is appropriate. In particular, the "F* near f 90deg" is there. Given the bum position, the identity is not a sure thing -- but given the matching description, it's pretty close.― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
