IC 3565 is a galaxy with a star to the south included in Wolf's object. He describes it as "I_3, S, vF, ?Af, ? Ch of *'", extended at 140 degrees. The "I_3" is a classification meaning "Andromeda-like", "Af" means "form of Nebula of Andromeda", and "Ch of *'" is "chain of stars." On the print of Wolf's plate, the object is clearly at least double, though I can see how Wolf might call it "Andromeda-like".

In any case, Wolf's position and description -- the "chain" and the position angle in particular -- point right at the galaxy and star.
