ESO 470-015, located 12.7' E, appeared faint, fairly small, round, 30", even surface brightness. The ESO was comparable (if not slightly higher surface brightness) to IC 5326.

Lewis Swift discovered IC 5326 = Sw. XI-231 on 14 Sep 1896 and wrote "eeeF; S; vE; 8m * p[receding]." His position is 3.4' too far SSW and the bright star (mag 9.2 HD 221097) is 6' SW. Herbert Howe measured an accurate position (used in the IC) during his survey of NGC and IC objects at Denver.

600/800mm - 24" (9/6/18): at 225x; very faint, fairly small, elongated 2:1 NW-SE, ~30"x15", low even surface brightness. Mag 9.3 HD 221097 lies 6' SW.
