Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 4497 has a complex nuclear area. There is a blue knot just a couple of arcseconds northeast of the apparent nucleus, with a horseshoe-like structure just south. The SDSS image shows all of this pretty clearly. The positions I've adopted for nucleus and knot seem to represent the two features fairly well. The DSS2 images more or less follow the SDSS, but without the higher resolution of the digital scans, the situation would not be at all clear.
