CGCG 74-14 appeared fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 3:2 NNW-SSE, 0.4'x0.25', sharply concentrated with a very small bright nucleus and a diffuse halo. CGCG 74-16 lies 1.8' SE and appeared faint to fairly faint, small, round, weak concentration, 18" diameter, small slightly brighter core.
Lewis Swift discovered IC 962 = Sw. VIII-80 on 7 Apr 1889 and logged "pF, vS, R, bM." He apparently missed the two fainter galaxies just south.
600/800mm - 24" (5/11/13): fairly bright, fairly small, round, 24", small bright nucleus, high surface brightness. First in the KTG 51 triplet with CGCG 74-14 1.4' S and CGCG 74-16 3.1' SE. Located 8.7' NW of mag 7.7 HD 121845.
