Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 2417 is a star. Since it is about 5-6 arcsec to the west of Wolf's position, I speculated earlier that Wolf's object might be the galaxy which is about 10 arcmin to the north. But the offset is not exactly 10 arcmin as we would expect if Wolf's position were a typo. So it is most likely that his object is the much nearer star.
Unfortunately, I have not seen a print of the original plate on which this was found, but because Wolf's positions have proved to be very good overall, I'm pretty confident in the identity.
