Lewis Swift discovered IC 1268 = Sw. VII-92 on 16 May 1888 and recorded "eeeF; pS; R; ee diff." His position is 15 seconds too small in RA but accurate in Dec. Howe measured an accurate position in 1900 (repeated in the IC 2 Notes section).

600/800mm - 24" (7/19/17): at 282x; faint to fairly faint, slightly elongated, 25" diameter. A very faint star is involved (NW edge?). Located 20' S of NGC 6467.
