Notes: The IC 1262 galaxy cluster (= ZwCl 1728.5+4353) is a poor cluster of galaxies in a distance of 400 million light years which is dominated by the X-ray bright cD galaxy IC 1262. Approximately 30 galaxies are confirmed members of this galaxy cluster. These galaxies are much fainter than IC 1262 and spread over a field of 20'. Only the members IC 1263 and IC 1264 reach a brightness compareable to IC 1262.
