Observing Notes

Harold Corwin

IC 3256 = NGC 4342, IC 3259, IC 3260 = NGC 4341, and IC 3267. Though the IC identifications in this group of five galaxies are not ambiguous, the NGC identifications have been. See the discussion under NGC 4341, and in RC3 (the Introduction, page 60; and Appendix 6, page 551).
