Lewis Swift discovered IC 1190 = Sw. VII-74 on 7 Jun 1888 and recorded "eeeF; S; R; another [IC 1191] and [NGC] 6061 nr in line." Corwin notes there is nothing close to Swift's position (other than NGC 6061 itself) but "his description "... another [=[IC 1191] and [NGC] 6061 near in line" points to this galaxy [UGC 10195] (rather than to the fainter, smaller object at 16 03 45.6, +18 19 48) as the one he saw." Modern sources label this galaxy as[UGC 10195 only, instead of IC 1190.

400/500mm - 17.5" (6/14/96): extremely faint, elongated 3:2 NW-SE, 30"x20", low even surface brightness. Located 3' W of a mag 10.5 star and 6' SW of NGC 6061 in the northeast portion of AGC 2151. Similar MCG +03-41-115 lies 2.4' SE.

17.5" extremely faint, fairly small, very diffuse. Located 5.9' WSW of NGC 6061 within AGC 2151. MCG +3-41-115 = CGCG 108-139 2.4' SE not seen.

600/800mm - 24" (8/1/19): at 324x; faint, fairly small, elongated 2:1 NW-SE, 30"x15", weak concentration. In a group of 4 galaxies with CGCG 108-139 2.3' SE.

24" (6/14/15): at 375x; very faint to faint, fairly small, elongated 2:1 NW-SE, 0.5'x0.2', low even surface brightness. Located 6' WSW of NGC 6061. A mag 10.5 is near the midpoint between the two galaxies.
