IC 3582 has been misidentified by nearly everyone as the brighter galaxy southwest of the real IC 3582. Wolf's position is exact for his object, and it appears as a nearly stellar object on the print of his original plate.
The brighter galaxy to the southwest (UGC 7778) also appears on the print, and it too appears to be stellar. I suspect that this is why Wolf skipped over it.― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
