Lewis Swift discovered IC 1324 = Sw. VII-100 on 16 Sep 1887 and recorded "eeF; S; R; 8th mag. * s[outh]". There's nothing at his original position, but Herbert Howe corrected the RA 26 seconds further east. This position matches MCG -02-52-012 = PGC 64906 and the bright star is 3.3' nearly due south.

600/800mm - 24" (6/23/17): at 375x; moderately bright, small, round, 20" diameter (core only). Contains a very small, very bright nucleus. A thin halo increases the size with averted to 30"-35" diameter. A mag 14.7 star is 50" S of center and a mag 12.4 star is 1.3' SSE. IC 1324 is situated 3.4' N of mag 9.8 HD 195514.
