MCG +14-07-020, situated 3.4' SW, appeared extremely faint, very small, round, 12" diameter. I didn't notice fainter MCG +14-07-021 only 0.9' E of -020, though it should be visible. CGCG 366-021, situated 13' SE, appeared extremely or very faint, round, ~30" diameter, very low surface brightness, no core or nucleus.

Lewis Swift discovered IC 1143 = Sw. VII-59, along with IC 1139, on 18 Jun 1888 and recorded "pF; vS; R; * nr; sf of 2 [with IC 1139]." His position is fairly accurate.

600/800mm - 24" (6/22/17): moderately bright, small, round. Contains a high surface brightness core ~20" diameter that increases to the center, surrounded by a very low surface brightness halo perhaps 40" diameter. A mag 13 star is 50" SE of center. Brightest in a group with MCG +14-07-020 and -021 ~3' SW. IC 1139 lies 8' NNW.
