Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 1233 = NGC 6247 as suggested by Dreyer in IC1. There is a 10 arcmin error in Swift's published position. Otherwise his position fits to within his usual errors, and his description "eF, vS, vE; bet 2 sts" also fits. There are no other galaxies in the area that match the description and have simple digit offsets from Swift's position.
The galaxy itself looks like an interacting pair on the DSS, and even more so in the SDSS image. I've given separate positions for the components, though everyone else has taken it as a single, peculiar galaxy.
