IC 2875 is a star, confirmed on the print of the original plate. The DSS has this star and the one 3/4 arcmin preceding (mentioned by Wolf in his notes, as is the "* 9 sp 1 1/2 arcmin", thus clearly identifying his object) very nearly the same brightness. On the print of Wolf's plate, however, the preceding star is in the corona of the bright star and is considerably enhanced in brightness, apparently a hypersensitization effect.

See IC 2630 for more information on Wolf's plate.
