IC 2312 is a pair of galaxies [PGC 1561585 and PGC 1561719], closely flanked by two stars, all of the images pretty much aligned north to south, though the brightest star follows by just over a second of time. All of these are blended together into one image on Wolf's plate.― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
