NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 6133 may be the triple star listed in the table; this is near Swift's place, and it may be close enough together to have been mistaken for a nebula by him. It may also be CGCG 276-012, but this is mere guesswork. An even fainter galaxy, 2MASX J16175770+5638221, has the advantage of having a declination within 1.2 arcminutes of Swift's, and fairly closely matching his description, but the RA is 2m 15s off. Similarly, NGC 6130 might match Swift's description, but has a pretty bright star to the southwest that Swift comments on in his description of NGC 6130 (see NGC 6125 for a bit more on this). It is also only roughly a degree north (57 arcminutes), and 28 seconds of time west of the nominal position for NGC 6133. Swift has not left us much to go on -- his full description reads "eeeF, S, cE, ee diff". Of the three other galaxies found the same night by Swift, NGC 6262 (which see) is also missing. NGC 6206 and NGC 6279 are close to their nominal positions, with no significant systematic offset. So, while there are candidates for this object, none are convincing. Thus, many question marks in the table.
