Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 3304 is a ring galaxy similar to NGC 985. The position is for the nucleus, the northern of the two knots on the east side of the ring.
My previous identification included the southern part of the ring and the nearest of two stars to the south as part of the IC number. Neither is clear on the print of the original plate, so I have renamed the objects to reflect the relationship of each to the ring itself.
