Lewis Swift discovered NGC 6358 = Sw. VI-92 on 2 May 1887 and recorded "eF; S; R; double star near north-preceding." There is nothing at his position but 2.0 minutes of RA east is UGC 10810, and the double star is less than 2' northwest. However the RA in the NGC is correct, so Swift must have originally notified Dreyer with the correct position before publication of the NGC.

400/500mm - 17.5" (6/18/88): faint, small, elongated ~E-W, even surface brightness. A double star is 1.8' WNW consisting of two mag 12 stars at 18" separation E-W.
