IC 3375 is a star. It is close to Wolf's measured position and is clearly seen on the print of the original plate. Wolfgang mistakenly chose a nearby galaxy as the IC object. This, too, appears on the print of the original plate, but is smaller and fainter than the star Wolf measured. It appears stellar on the print, so Wolf must have skipped over it, thinking it a star.― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
