Wolf says "* 14 att p". The star, however, is not attached to the galaxy pinpointed by his position, but is rather just southwest of a considerably fainter galaxy about three seconds of time west. Though the brighter galaxy shows on the original plate, it is clearly not "attached" to the star. Perhaps we are taking Wolf too literally here.
The usual identification is the brighter galaxy, and that is the one we'll stick with, at least until the original plate can be examined.― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
