Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 3864 is a faint galaxy, with a star superposed, not resolved on the original plate (my original classification as a double galaxy was wrong). Wolf noted the star 0.5 arcmin south, so there is no question about the identity.
This galaxy, and several other galaxies in Wolf's list, are members of the cluster Abell 1638. SDSS makes the redshift z = 0.063.
See IC 3636 for more about the discovery plate.
