At the position of ESO 362-015 I found a 14th magnitude stellar object. At 375x; this "star" appeared to be a bright stellar nucleus (or possibly a superimposed star) surrounded by a very faint, very low surface brightness halo

Lewis Swift discovered IC 2122 = Sw. XI-76 on 19 Nov 1897 and recorded "pB; eS; R; 3 st in line nf." His position is 1.5' S of ESO 362-014, so this identification appears secure, though I'm surprised he would call this galaxy "pretty bright" and I don't see what three stars he had in mind. Swift's earlier 5th discovery list at Lowe Observatory in AJ gives the "3 st in line np", though I don't see any line of 3 stars northwest.

600/800mm - 24" (1/22/15): at 260x; fairly faint, fairly small, irregularly round, low even surface brightness. Viewed at 13° elevation. Forms a pair with ESO 362-015 4.6' SE. IC 2122 is the brightest member of galaxy cluster ACO S521 at z = .015 (distance ~220 million l.y.) ESO 362-012, with a similar redshift, lies 23' W.
