On the DSS, this appears to be two stars, with a very faint galaxy between them, closer to the southwestern star. The two stars must be the main contributors to the image verified on the contact print of Wolf's original plate.

However, on the SDSS, the "galaxy" resolves into at least one foreground star with a multiple galaxy just to the south. I've given positions for the two brighter flanking stars, the fainter foreground star, and the brightest component of the galaxy system. All are visible on the DSS2 red image.
