Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
This is an edgewise galaxy with a faint nucleus that shows up well in the red and infrared images. There is also a blue star -- or perhaps a stellar knot in the galaxy -- superposed just southwest of the nucleus. This shows up clearly on the SDSS image; the SDSS position, in fact, applies to this star. Finally, there is a companion galaxy attached to the eastern end of IC 2095 by a faint bridge. This may account for the slight distortions that we see in the thin disc of the larger galaxy.
Also see IC 2091 for more on Roberts's discovery plate.
