IC 3104 is a nearby dwarf galaxy found by Frost on one of the Bruce plates taken at Arequipa. It is well-resolved on the IIIa-J southern sky survey plates, and matches Frost's description well.
Because of its far southern declination, its RA is not well-constrained, at least numerically. Also the galaxy has no nucleus, so its position is usually taken as the center of the "bar".― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
