Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 2082 is the brightest galaxy -- actually a pair of galaxies with a superposed star -- in the cluster Abell S0463. The "S" denotes a "supplemental" cluster, not rich enough to be included in the main Abell catalogue, but still of sufficient interest to mention. Other IC galaxies in the cluster are IC 2081, IC 2083, IC 2085, and IC 2086.
