Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 5204 is probably NGC 7300. Swift found it the same night that he found IC 5228 = NGC 7302, and describes it as "vF, eE, a ray; p of 2." There is nothing within a degree of Swift's position that matches this description.
However, we know that IC 5228 is certainly NGC 7302; the positions match to within 10 seconds of time, and there is nothing else nearby that could be Swift's object. His description reads, "pB, pS, R; B * nr s; f of 2." The bright star is there, and this galaxy is the "f of 2" with the preceding object being NGC 7300.
