History and Accurate Positions for the NGC/IC Objects (Corwin 2004)
IC 2595 is probably lost. There is nothing in Swift's position nor at any reasonable digit offsets that I've so far checked.
There is the possiblility, however, of the object being 10 or 20 degrees south of Swift's nominal declination. He found five objects on the night of 22 February 1898. The three that are identifiable ( IC 2135 = IC 2136, which see for a story of its own; NGC 5494; and IC 4453) are all between -27 degrees and -37 degrees. It's probably a coincidence that this object and the other (IC 2962) that are not at their nominal positions are both 20 degrees further north. But while the coincidence suggested a search strategy, it did not yeild the missing objects -- I did not find that at either 10 or 20 degrees south of their nominal positions. Perhaps there is an error in the RA by an hour one way or another. This still needs to be checked.
Finally, there are no significant systematic offsets in Swift's positions for the three galaxies that we can identify. His positions are just bad, ranging from 24 seconds east to 15 seconds west, and 7.0 arcmin north to 2.5 arcmin south from the true positions.
