IC 5260 is probably NGC 7404. If so, Swift's position is +20 seconds, and +2 degrees in error, and his description, including the "9m * nr sp" is accurate (the star is HD 216443). Given that no other galaxy closer to his nominal position fits as well, I've adopted the identity.― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
