Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
Fleming's declination for this is 10 arcminutes too far south, but her RA is about right, as is her description: "Faint nebulosity about 2' in diameter." She found the galaxy on one plate and confirmed it on a second. This is the only galaxy in her list of 27 nebulae found on several Harvard plates of the vicinity of the Orion Nebula.
See IC 434 for more on the area.
