When I went over the field in the 1990s, I had this pegged as a star and a galaxy. However, checking the print of the original plate carefully against the DSS2R image, I'm convinced now that I was wrong -- Wolf's object is indeed just the galaxy. He notes, "in dif Neby"; there are some very faint plate defects in the area that he may be writing about.― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
