Observing Notes

Harold Corwin

IC 3705 is a faint double galaxy, not clearly resolved on the original plate. Wolf must have suspected some irregularity in the image as he calls it a possible spiral. There is also a considerably fainter galaxy just to the southeast that may be involved in the image on the plate. I've provided positions for all of these. See IC 3636 for more about the discovery plate.
