Per Dreyer, IC 1203 (= Thome, 1860 RA 16 06 58, NPD 111 59.1) has "no description". The position precesses to RA 16 15 16.1, Dec -22 20 30, very close to the position listed above, which is exactly halfway between the two 17th-magnitude stars shown in the image below, one or both of which were recorded by Thome (in his Cordoba Durchmusterung, or "CD") as CD -22 11448, so it seems most likely that the pair is IC 1203. If Dreyer had given a description corresponding to a nebular object, it could be presumed that IC 1203 should be something else, but there are no nebular objects in the field, and a close pair of stars was often mistaken for a nebular object in the visual surveys (such as the CD) that led to the NGC/IC. (Note: Steinicke lists the object as "not found".)

The second IC lists a corrected NPD (per Bigourdan) of 19 42. Apparent size 0.6 by 0.3 arcmin.

Per Dreyer, IC 1217 (= Swift list VII (#85), 1860 RA 16 16 32, NPD 19 59.0) is "most extremely faint, small, round, very difficult". The position precesses to RA 16 16 03.7, Dec +69 40 33, but there is nothing there, and although further research may reveal what Swift observed (if anything), that will have to wait for the next iteration of this page.

Based on a recessional velocity of 9225 km/sec, IC 1222 is about 430 million light years away. Given that and its apparent size of 1.7 by 1.3 arcmin, it is about 200 thousand light years across.

(Listed in NED as SDSSJ163514.15+461232.7) PGC 2277264's recessional velocity of 9115 km/sec is close enough to that of IC 1222 (which see for images) that they are probably a physical pair, and at the same distance (of about 430 million light years). In that case, PGC 2277264's apparent size of 0.4 by 0.2 arcmin would correspond to 50 thousand light years.

The second IC adds (per Bigourdan) "= NGC 6206", so the identity has been known for more than a century. (this entry will mostly contain historical information; for anything else see NGC 6206)

Apparent size 1.6 by 1.5 arcmin.

Apparent size 0.4 by 0.3 arcmin.

Per Dreyer, IC 1230 (= Swift list X (#41), 1860 RA 16 41 48, NPD 38 31.2) is "most extremely faint, small, round, very difficult, southeastern of 2", the other being IC 1229. The IC object is one of several close galaxies (possibly physical companions as well as optical doubles), but given the statement "very difficult", Swift must have seen only the brightest one, or at best the combined light from the central grouping. Apparent size 0.9 by 0.9 arcmin.

Apparent size 2.2 by 1.0 arcmin.

Per Dreyer, IC 1232 (= Swift list IX (#69), 1860 RA about 16 45, NPD 43 40.2) is "most extremely faint, small, irregularly round, bright star to the southeast". The position precesses to RA 16 49 04.9, Dec +46 05 10, which is north and very slightly west of 5th magnitude 52 Herculis (which seems more or less reasonable, given the description), but there is nothing near there or to the northwest of the star, so what Swift saw was probably an internal reflection of the light from the bright star, IC 1232 is generally considered to be lost or nonexistent, and the position listed is simply Dreyer's precessed position. (Note: Steinicke gives a position a little to the east, but there is nothing there either, and that would put 52 Herculis to the southwest, not the southeast.)

Per Dreyer, IC 1233 (= Swift list IX (#70), 1860 RA 16 47 09, NPD 26 36.6) is "extremely faint, very small, very extended, between 2 stars [= 6247?]". The position precesses to RA 16 48 26.0, Dec +63 08 54. This is more or less between two 12th-magnitude stars, so the position may be correct, but there is nothing there (which is often the case when dealing with 'very faint' NGC/IC objects). Dreyer's guess that the object might be NGC 6247 would require it to have a position of RA 16 48 20.0, Dec +62 58 34, which is about the same right ascension, but 50 arcmin to the North. That is a possibility, presuming Swift made a careless entry or a reduction error, but one that hasn't met with much enthusiasm. As a result, IC 1233 is generally considered lost or nonexistent, and the listed position is simply Dreyer's precessed position.

Per Dreyer, IC 1240 (= Bigourdan 214, 1860 RA 16 59 19, NPD 28 45) is "suspected nebula, 3' northeast 8th magnitude star". The position precesses to RA 17 01 01.1, Dec +61 02 56, which is about 3 arcmin to the northeast of an 8th magnitude star, so the position is presumably more or less accurate; but there is nothing of any obvious importance there or anywhere near there, so IC 1240 is generally considered a lost or nonexistent object. However, there is a 16th-magnitude star just over an arcmin north of Dreyer's position, so I have used its position for a tentative identification of the object.

Apparent size 1.2 by 1.0 arcmin.

Apparent size 0.9 by 0.6 arcmin.

The second IC adds (per Howe) "Only 5 stars of magnitude 12 to 14 in north-south line, 45 arcsec long." Apparent size 1.5 by 0.5 arcmin.

Apparent size 1.0 by 1.0 arcmin.

Apparent size 1.7 by 0.9 arcmin.

The second IC adds "Not found by Howe (2 nights). 30 seconds west is a double star (both 12th magnitude), separation 3 arcsec. In the right place is a 13th magnitude star (no nebulosity) with a 9.8 magnitude star 0.7 arcmin to the southwest."
