Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 3480 is a double star. Not only is Wolf's position exactly on the stars, but his position angle for them is correct, too. Since there is no other object near this that meets the description, the identification is firm. Note that the MOL identification of this with IC 3490 is a typo; IC 3490 is sixteen degrees south in the Virgo Cluster.
