Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 3866 is a faint double galaxy, not clearly resolved on the original plate. Wolf must have noticed some irregularity in the image, however, as he suggested it might be a cluster. Perhaps the plumes from the southern galaxy are included in the image, too, though they does not show up as individual objects on the print. See IC 3636 for more about the discovery plate.
