Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 2955 is not NGC 3862, but is the fainter companion about an arcminute to
the northwest of the brighter elliptical. Bigourdan saw both galaxies on 28
March 1886 and measured them both the next night. He returned to them on 30
April 1899, and measured them both again.
