We should check the Harvard plate to see if Stewart's object is just the eastern component of this interacting double system, or if it includes the western object as well. I'm being a bit cautious here because the western galaxy is relatively compact and might have appeared as a star on the plate.
Until we know for sure what the plate shows, I'm listing both galaxies under the IC number.― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
