Lewis Swift (1820-1913) discovered 131 new IC objects south of declination -25 using a 16" refractor at Echo Mountain near Pasadena California between 1889 and 1898. All but one (IC 1537) were galaxies. His most southerly object was the magnitude 12.7 galaxy IC 4943 at declination -48.
Swift was an old man at the time and sadly went blind soon after this.
The attached file lists 26 galaxies to magnitude 12.
