Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 3389 is an optical double galaxy at Wolf's position. There are two other galaxies to the north of the brightest western galaxy, but they are very faint and probably do not contribute anything to the image on the original plate; they certainly are not on the print of the plate that I examined.
When I went over the field earlier with the POSS1, I called the eastern galaxy a star. This is wrong -- it is a galaxy with a redshift of 0.149 according to the SDSS spectrum. The western galaxy has a redshift of 0.127.
