Lewis Swift discovered IC 1241 = Sw. VII-87 on 19 July 1887 and recorded "eF; pS; R." His position is at the north edge of UGC 10670 and the identification is certain.

600/800mm - 24" (6/21/17): at 375x; fairly faint or moderately bright, irregularly round, ~0.6' diameter. Appears lumpy with direct vision but I didn't see a distinct nucleus.
