Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 3498 is not a star as I had surmised earlier. Wolf's position and description unequivocally point at the correct galaxy, a highly inclined (early-type?) spiral. The image is easily seen on the print of the original plate.
Unfortunately, MOL copied my earlier mistaken identity. Sorry about that. (Also see IC 3496.)
