IC 2295 is a star, verified on a print of the original plate (see IC 2262). That star is the northeastern of a wide double. I had thought for some time that it just might be possible that Wolf's object is the double with a plate defect involved. However, a re-examination of the print in September 2014 showed that only the northeastern star is the intended object. The southwestern star is in fact hidden beneath Wolf's arrowhead marking his suspected nebula.― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
