Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 4586 = NGC 6014. This is one of the last nebulae found by Lewis Swift. He gives the RA only to a whole minute of time, though he lists the declination with a precision of a tenth of an arcminute -- it is, however, off by almost six arcminutes.
The identity, first suggested in Carlson's 1940 paper, is assured by Swift's notes about the field: "Between a star 8 following and a curve of stars preceding." NGC 6014 fits that description perfectly.
