Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 2938 is the brightest galaxy in a poor cluster. There are half a dozen other galaxies within half an arcminute of the center of the bright galaxy; all of them are included in the image on the print of Wolf's plate that I've examined. I've included positions for the two brightest neighboring galaxies; the others may be found in the SDSS.
Wolf, by the way, includes the comment "(Plattenrand!)" -- "plate edge!" The star images in this part of the plate are round discs with brighter cores. In some sense, I'm surprised that IC 2938 is so easily visible on the plate.
