Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 4455 = NGC 5664, which also see for a somewhat longer story (the NGC object comes from Leander McCormick). Stewart's RA is 45 seconds off, but his declination and description from a one-hour plate ("eF, eS, cE at 30 degrees") is good enough to identify the galaxy he saw.
