Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
Here is another double galaxy, probably also in Klemola 44, though well south of the center of the cluster. It is easily and positively identified by Swift's note "8m * sf" (the star is more "s" than "f"). Some have taken the brighter, eastern component as Swift's galaxy, but I prefer to adopt the pair itself as the IC object. The two galaxies are pretty closely merged, and would probably be difficult to separate at the eyepiece. Speculation, of course. Observations needed!
