Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 5262 is the brighter of an interacting double galaxy positively identified by Swift's notes "bet a * p and a wide D nf, 8m * f". However, he calls it the "np of 2" without listing a "sf of 2" object in either table where he published this. The closest object that he could mean in his lists is IC 5271 which is actually northeast of IC 5262. Swift probably meant to say "sp of 2" for IC 5262 -- or could he have seen the second galaxy and neglected to list it in his "catalogues"?
