Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
In his description in AN 3004, Swift mentions a "F * nr f; another sus[pected] nr p". The first faint star is actually preceding, and there is another, actually double, on to the west-northwest just a couple of arcminutes from the galaxy. (There are no stars to the east that he could have seen.) As with a similar note for IC 801 (which see), we need to keep in mind his very large, 32-arcmin field -- though in this case, he has certainly made at least one simple mistake.
