UGC 10213, situated 23' SSW, appeared faint to fairly faint, moderately large, irregularly round, ~1.0'x0.8'. A slightly brighter core seems a bit elongated.

Lewis Swift discovered IC 1196 = Sw. VII-76 on 7 Apr 1888 and reported "eeeF; nr. p[receding] * of 3 in a line." His position and description matches this galaxy, though Howe apparently missed the nearest and faintest of the 3 stars (MN, Nov. 1900).

600/800mm - 24" (7/21/17): at 375x; fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 5:3 N-S, ~40"x24", brighter core. The surface brightness is slightly patchy and the outer extensions [spiral arms] increase in length with averted. Situated 2.4' NW of mag 9.3 SAO 101948. A mag 13.7/15.5 pair of stars at ~20" separation is 1' SE.
