Lewis Swift discovered IC 267 = Sw. VII-7 = Big 138 and recorded "eeF; pS; E; sf of GC 620 [NGC 1134]." His RA is 35 seconds too large. Bigourdan independently found it again on 28 Nov 1888 and measured an accurate position. Both are credited in the IC.

400/500mm - 17.5" (10/21/95): faint, moderately large, edge-on 5:1 NNW-SSE, 1.8'x0.3', broad weak concentration. Located 10.3' SSE of NGC 1134.

600/800mm - 24" (12/21/16): at 282x; moderately bright, fairly large, elongated ~4:1 NNW-SSE, ~1.7'x0.4', irregular surface brightness. This appears to be a central bar (verified on the DSS) rather than an edge-on galaxy. Either a star is superimposed at the center or the galaxy has a bright stellar nucleus! Located 10' SSE of NGC 1134.
