Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 3402 is a nice edgewise galaxy just about an arcmin south-southeast of a pretty bright star. Wolf's position is about 15 arcsec too far north (along the major axis of the galaxy, still well within its image), but otherwise his data for the galaxy is appropriate. Even though this is one of the northern- most galaxies on his plate, well into the vignetted area of the plate, it is still clearly seen on the print of the original plate.
