Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
MCG has a note that reads (translated by me), "Companion E 17m in contact with its nucleus at d = 0.1 [arcmin]." This companion is actually a superposed star. I've given a separate position for the star.
Coincidentally, there is a compact elliptical just southeast of the galaxy. This appears stellar enough in the rich star field that Vorontsov-Velyaminov overlooked it, apparently mistaking it for a star.
