Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 3596 is a defect. Wolf's position is just north-northeast of a wide double star, and his description reads, "Wings [curving arms], near a double star." There is nothing at all on the POSS1 or the DSS1/2 in this place, and Wolf's mention of the double star near the "nebula" rules it out as his object, too.
The defect is visible on the print of Wolf's original plate.
