Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
If IC 2938 (which see) is near the plate edge, then this is almost off the edge! The entire galaxy is on the plate, but just barely. See IC 2630 for more on this plate.
This, by the way, is the last of the nebulous objects that Wolf found on this plate; it is number 310 in his 7th list of nebulae found on plates he took at Heidelburg just after the turn of the 20th century.
