Swift's position is about 10 arcmin too far north. The incorrect position coincidentally falls near CGCG 012-110, which has sometimes been taken as the IC object. The object that Swift really found is MCG -01-30-040, and can be clearly identified by Swift's note of a "B * f 55 sec; np of 2." The star is SAO 138460, and the other nebula is IC 2972 = NGC 3952 (which see). Though the MCG object is smaller and fainter than the CGCG, it has a much higher surface brightness, so is more likely to have been seen during a visual survey like Swift's.― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
