IC 1250 (= PGC 2565010)
Discovered (Jun 23, 1890) by
Lewis Swift (IX-77)
A 16th-magnitude galaxy (type S?) in Draco (RA 17 14 29, Dec +57 25 00)

Based on recessional velocity of 8450 km/sec, about 375 million light years away. Given that and apparent size of 0.6 by 0.3 arcmins, about 65 thousand light years in diameter.

IC 1251
Discovered (Sep 18, 1890) by
Edward Swift (X-43)

IC 1252 (=
IC 4649)
Discovered (Sep 5, 1888) by Guillaume Bigourdan (217) (and later listed as IC 1252)
Discovered (Sep 5, 1888) by Guillaume Bigourdan (and later listed as IC 4649)
(Either the date of the second observation is wrong, or Bigourdan made a reduction error)

(The NGC listing was undoubtedly credited to someone else; will clear up the confusion in next iteration)
