Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
This edgewise late-type spiral has a superposed star exactly where I'd expect to see the nucleus of the galaxy. The redshift (V = +15 +- 32km/s) given by da Costa et al. (ApJS 75, 935, 1991) is clearly that of the star; the redshift of the galaxy is +2751 +- 10km/s from 21-cm emission (Mathewson and Ford, ApJS 107, 97, 1996).
The position that I've adopted is that of the superposed star; without higher- resolution images than those currently (November 2015) available through NED, I've found it impossible to determine seperate positions for the two objects.
