Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
This is the western component of a double galaxy in the cluster Klemola 44 = Abell 4038. ESO picks only the brighter galaxy as the IC object, but given Swift's description "eeF, S, R, 3rd of 5", it could well be both. Howe gives a refined position which points at the brighter galaxy, but has no additional description to help us. Given that Howe almost certainly saw the brighter galaxy, and that he is credited in the IC as a co-discoverer, I don't see any reason not to follow along.
