Lewis Swift discovered NGC 6292 = Sw. II-48 on 8 Jul 1885 and recorded "eF; E; several vF stars near; v diff." His position is 30 seconds too far west, but the description confirms the identification with UGC 10684. Bigourdan measured an accurate position on 10 Sep 1888, and Dreyer published the correction in the IC 2 Notes.

400/500mm - 17.5" (6/18/88): faint, very small, elongated ~E-W, weak concentration. Located within a star group with a mag 15 star at the east end.
