IC 2307 is in GSC at 08 17 49.7, +19 35 58 (B1950.0). Wolf's position is 08 17 51.1, +19 36 00; about 12 arcsec off in RA, but part of this may be systematic. Also, Wolf's position angle is "360," 18 degrees off from that measured by Glen Deen (which is correct). There is no obvious defect involved with the galaxy on the print of the original plate, but grain clumping may have been responsible for part of its appearance.― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
